Hello,
Not sure a piano technician will find natural to do that, particularly with
the hammers damping the tone if the key is pushed a bit hard.:

Extract from the Shiedmayer site
      Regulation of the Celesta
      The sound is produced by felted hammers which hit resonant steel
plates. Each individual steel plate has its own damper and wooden resonator.
By using the pedal all dampers raise so that the continuing vibration
produces a full sound with each key.
      Basically the Celesta should be regulated from time to time just like
an other musical instrument.

      Following steps are to be done:

        1.. To adjust the hammers, turn the screw at the end of the key to
the left or to the right. The head of the hammer should damp the steel plate
by pushing down the key firmly with 2 fingers
        2.. The intonation of the hammers is to be done in the same way as
for the hammers in a upright- or grand-piano.
      The Mustel does not have threaded adjustments for the parts, they are
locked with an apparatus that makes them not easy to adjust finely.

      The original felts are way too soft, consider changing it.

      Their tone is nice anyway.

      Regards.

      Isaac OLEG
