Hi David,

The Mustel is different than the Scheidmeyer. Key level is set with reverse
capstans, ie. the capstans are screwed into the key and rest on the back
rail felt. They are adjusted by turning the capstan from the top of the key.
The blow is adjusted with a collar/set screw that is attached to the
sticker. This unit also has a hammer rest rail. Not sure yet how I will
adjust the dampers. Probably at 1/3 to 1/2 blow, depending on how heavy the
touch is. Right now they lift at the top of the key stroke. Action feels
heavy.

Thanks.

Alan
