Or could it be replated with something other than chrome, like say bronze. There must be other choices for plating, more in line with your desire.

Holly wrote me to say, first she has them and second they are chrome. Now please let me know. This is a 1861 Steinway square I am rebuilding and everything of hardware is brass. The plate is bronze tone With the original art work. Now the question: do you think a shiny chrome acorn nut would look good on there? Some how, I just think it should be brass like the hinges and such. I wouldn't put nickel tuning pins on it. If you have a suggestion, I would be glad to hear it.
