ʻO ke kelepona - ka mea kani kīpē percussion e like me ka piano liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka inoa mai ka huaʻōlelo Italia celeste, ʻo ia hoʻi ka "lani". ʻAʻole hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ʻo Celesta ma ke ʻano he mea kani, akā kani ʻo ia ma ke ʻano o ka symphony orchestra. Ma waho aʻe o nā hana maʻamau, hoʻohana ʻia ia i ka jazz, nā mele kaulana a me ka pōhaku.

I ka makahiki 1788, ua haku ka haku o Lākana ʻo C. Clagget i ka "tuning fork clavier", a ʻo ia ka mea i lilo i progenitor o ka celesta. ʻO ke kumu o ka hana ʻana o ka mea kani, ʻo ia ka hahau ʻana i nā hāmare ma nā pahu kani o nā ʻano nui like ʻole.
