Subject: WN&G/M&H?

Stripping down a 1913 M&H upright action today - removed hammer rail
felt. Under the hammer rail felt (obviously where no one would ever see
it) is stamped "Wessell Nickels & Gross". Did WN&G make actions for M&H?
Did M&H make their own actions and perhaps buy some parts from WN&G? Did
M&H cannabalize some old WN&G actions to make this action in 1913? Just
curious.

Terry,
	I don't recall seeing anything but WN and G. on the "Boston "
Masons I service . The Rochester pianos I think had Pratt Read and the
most recent I believe is Renner but my experience is limited on the new
ones.
