[pianotech] Acorn needed

With this being an 1861 square grand, the first question I would ask is, will it fit? If the acorn does fit, because Steinway currently makes only chrome ones, the next question is, do you continue to search for a brass one, or do you take what they have, and modify it? (Get it brass plated or paint it gold).Personally, I would get the chrome one and get it plated.

Greetings list,
 
To follow up on my search, I did write Steinway and got a very nice reply.   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.
