Greeting Jim,
             Normal convention calls for 10 cents sharp, how ever 3 to 5
beats per sec is the kind of window you should shoot for. At the high end,
the string celeste can be made to be quite syrupy!!!! It is not unusual to
find that the flute celeste is a little narrower than the string. Safest
way is to have the organist there and let them make the decision.
Regards Roger
