I just finished blasting the hardware on a 1916 Kimball grand. It was all solid brass except for the continuous hinges. They are silver and non magnetic (the hinge rod is brass). I don't think they were plated although it's hard to tell because the piano had been painted (white with gold accents and a portrait of George Washington, or is it Martha - see link below). What metal do suppose this is? Richard Anderson Cast your vote! Is it George or Martha? <http://users.FoxValley.net/~tknostf/Kimball.html>
