Basically, for some time now I have noticed that my grand piano tends to wobble a bit too much compared to others; it might be because its weight is a bit higher than others, but more than anything, seeing how the legs behave while being played, it seems as though the wood is too flexible. Is there a way to remedy this problem without resorting to replacing the legs themselves? My fear is that due to excessive flexibility, one of them could give way while playing (I don't think it will happen, but you never know), and I don't think that would be very pleasant!
You need to check the leg locking system. Could there be woodworms? Show us some photos. Generally, they are locked by two large screws or feature a large nut that inserts under the supports. Only Steinway has a secure "jack" locking system that locks the shaped insert.

As soon as possible I will take some photos. The only thing I can say is that there was a woodworm problem in the past; in fact, the large beam connecting the two front legs has some small holes. The fastening system consists of two wing screws, but rather than a fastening problem, it seems to be a problem with the wood itself tending to bend, either due to the type of wood or due to the excessive humidity that is not lacking in this part of Sicily
