The Mechanical Celesta is the second buildable musical instrument from Ugears after the Hurdy-Gurdy and is both a mechanical model and a working instrument. The construction is a simplified pianola combining elements of a piano, a music box and a xylophone. In manual mode a key is pressed, the hammer strikes the corresponding metal plate and the note sounds; the range spans an octave. In programmed mode a series of boards is arranged along a rotating drum, and as the drum is cranked the pins on the boards trigger the hammers in the right order.

The programming pins are included in the kit, and the manual contains a ready pin setting for the melody Carol of the Bells, originally Shchedryk by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych. The model is fully mechanical and hand operated, with no batteries, cables or electronics. The parts are laser cut in plywood and assemble without glue or special tools, with a manual in eleven languages. With 573 parts and around eight hours of assembly the article is among the highest part counts in the range despite its Medium rating, and the outer carton holds 4 units.
