They are jwobly by design. These kinds of legs are for decorating purposes, and under no circumstances should a piano like this be moved. Yes, I have seen a rod that extends through the legs. But it's kind of defeating the purpose. The leg is hollowed out to accommodate the rod. But then the leg is weaker because of it. All you can do is make sure everything is tight, and then recommend that the piano never be moved, at least not without some help. And make sure Little Richard is never invited to come play for a party. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
