I'd have to concur here.  Some of the finest pianos don't use aluminum.  There
is a definite action noise issue that aluminum rails transmit all too well.
Carl Sauter uses engineered wood for their grand rails.  I'll have to get in
with the servicing tech.s next time so I can look at more actions.  The ones I
did see didn't use aluminum.

I've traced excessive action noise to aluminum rails on my affordable Chinese
pianos.  Now, how do you dampen that noise? 

You buy a piano that uses a laminated wood rail.
