<div>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 q<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">uestion 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).</FONT>Personally, I would get the chrome one and get it plated. </div>

<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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.</FONT></div>

<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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?</FONT></div>
<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </div>
<div><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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.</FONT></div>
