I agree with Ted...I've installed a few of the Renner brass castors...I've just checked the price difference between brass and aluminium... there's virtually none. It would amount to a few dollars for the set. I suspect the aluminium is more an aesthetic choice. Ted's absolutely right about the beauty of the engineering etc...the piano's look fantastic on stage with them , particularly compared to a truck!! He's also spot on with his suggestion of two with brakes and one without (it will lower the cost a little as well) Being the Renner distributor here in Australia it is interesting to see RennerUSA's price (not that different)...any saving I might have been able to offer would be more than swallowed by postage! Good luck with the funding!
