Hello All.
 
     The whippen in the Mathushek   "  Spinet Grand ".  is 
so named by the factory strictly for  promotion purposes.  

It indeed has a  Hertz -  Erard  ( double escapement)
 action built by   " Thayer Action Co"  of Chicago  Ill.
 
     Hey Joe,,  did I already say this once   ???????  
 
   Not to add to the confusion but Mathushek also built 
two other smaller Squares before the "Spinet Grand".
 
    One was called the  "Minum"  the other was  called 
the  " Colibri  "  They both had the Capo-Bar (Not  Agraffes) 
in  the treble  and had a single  escapement   action  
( jack on key )
 
 
Regards,
Jack Wyatt
