    Anybody have nickel hardware for a Steinway grand? I need pedals, lid hinges, continuous hinge, lid lock escutcheon and pedal rods in good shape. Send me a PM if you do. Thanks!

    Dave,  Just take the brass parts to a plater. I've done that several times.

    Be careful if you do that. Hinges won't fit anymore. At least the long one. I guess it also depends upon how thick the plating is. We had a Steinway that tore out the screws when you opened the fly lid.
    The other stuff is probably not a problem.

    I am having the pedals plated. Maybe they will be okay. 
    Still need lid hinges, pedal lift rods, continuous hinge and
    lid lock/escutcheon.
