Yep, brass. It cleans the crud out of the string cuts and raises the "nap"
of the felt enough to eliminate a lot of the high painful partials. Raises a
heck of a dust cloud in use, but it's about the cheapest magic I know, and
the best $.69 I ever spent. You can make over $200 an hour for about five
minutes brushing a set of hammers, and make $150 worth of difference in the
sound for a few bucks worth of your time. A real crowd pleaser. A suede
brush works very well too, but this old scrubber has a long handle so I
don't take knuckles off (mine) on the pressure bar screws in verticals. I
have no idea if they are still available, or what they cost by now.
