Just got an old Rus-ler. D10. it has the Bs lowered with the LR knee and the E lowered with the RL knee. How do you use the lowered B?

On a lot of guitars they drop the 5th or 5th and 10th to A#/Bb on LKV. Some guitars have that pull on another lever, If they do not have a LKV. They use it at end of a phrase, or fill.

Not the case my RusLer, so I'm guessing it's a set-up thing.
John DeMaille on the SGForum has been very helpful to me regarding RusLers. Maybe he can offer experienced thoughts.

Are the B's lowering a half tone, or a full tone?

Lower the b with half a tone and a split tuner which the Rus-Lr may not have, does give a four note chromatic run down. . Plus a minor chord with A and B pedal down.

Donnie Hinson,
They are lowered 1/2 tone. I played an Emmons for 25 years with the G# lowered as well as the D. This guitar has neither. I'm wondering about stealing the parts from the Bs (that I don't use and lowering the 6 and 9,
