John,
The marks are on the exterior, on a dedicated plaque attached to the treble box at the upper front.
It is an unusual instrument insofar as it is nominally an LMMH instrument presumably the two M's are tuned A440, 442 (or 440, 438). , then a separate "on" and another separate "off" lever ( two in all) actuate or deactuate (seemingly) a third M reed, which remains in force across all couplers (affecting all the reed combinations, when "on", giving to all combinations a wetter sound ). This gives a very nice "musete" effect in the violin or "MM" coupling ( becoming seemingly MMM), although the nominal or "official" musete coupling (which, with the musete lever "off" is MMH) then , seemingly, becomes MMMH and wetter. :huh:
I have searched the net for information, but without any success, although there was one advertised for sale.
