1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class X.: John Bray
From Graces Guide
531. BRAY, JOHN, 26 Westmoreland Street, Dublin — Manufacturer.
Double-action harp, with additional notes, Gothic pillar embellished in ultra-marine and gold, and music-stool, desk, and stand.
[The double-actioned harp possesses greater powers of modulation than that with the single action, and can also produce enharmonic passages; in which respect it is a perfectly unique instrument, excepting those of the violin class. Every major and almost every minor key can be distinctly produced on it. The exceptions are A D and G minors.—H. E. D.]
