---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry, WN&G stands for Wessell, Nickel & Gross. Early Mason & Hamlin pianos had Wessell, Nickel & Gross actions. Ivers & Pond and Stieff always had them. Manufacturers such as Lauter and Blasius who put other actions in some of their pianos used WN&G for their top of the line. The great depression did not deal kindly with them. The name was taken over by Starr I understand and eventually appeared on some Aeolian products (ugh!).
