<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Last month I sent a photo of an odd grand action I'd encountered, and no-one recognised it.  Thanks to Mario Igrec (and to Allen Wright for conveying the information when my email had problems) the action has been identifed as a design by one Johannes Jakobus Bender.  Mario identifed the action drawing in Pfeiffer's "The Piano Hammer", a book I intend now to buy. Best regards, David. </body> </html>
