Is there only one way of tuning the musette on an accordion?

Musette is the word used for the vibrato (tremelo) sound of some accordions. This is achieved by tuning one clarinet (8 foot) reed higher than ‘concert pitch’ and possibly a clarinet (8 foot) reed tuned lower than ‘concert pitch’. There is no ‘fixed’ amount of higher or lower tuning to achieve musette. This is sometimes referred to as wet (more of a musette sound) and dry (no musette type sound at all).
