Mauldin plays a stand-up acoustic bass;[2] and Vi Petty plays the celesta (a keyboard instrument with a glockenspiel-like tone, used in such classical pieces as "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" from The Nutcracker).The song is ranked #238 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[3] SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyday_(Buddy_Holly_song)
