I have a "special" piano which i bring out for things like that...  {Old 
Baldwin C.}

Last time Vox Balanae was done here, I had them use brass for the metal 
things. ( I have a supply of brass screws/nuts/washers available)  I figure 
anything softer than the string is OK.  Plastic for wound string insertion.
