Swaying grand

[John Ross]

Feel with your hand if there is movement, between the two sections of the leg.
I found movement there, in an Asian grand.
I removed the legs and ran C/A in the seam,
It seemed to help.

  Pianist at a church complained about the Hyundai 4'6"ish grand swaying as she plays, admitting she's a pretty heavy player.  It has its original casters-tiny, in large round caster cups, sitting on a carpet-covered V made of 1x6.  The legs were firmly attached, no opportunity for tightening.  Is this characteristic, and something she must live with, or can something be done?  I tried adjusting the footprint of the legs in the cups and on the carpeted surface (reluctant to do much), and it didn't change anything.

  Thanks,
  Richard Morgan
