Bill's soundboard cleaning tools are great but you can make one (or =
several -different sizezs for various parts of the board) very easily =
for quite a bit less than what he charges for them. A length of brazing =
rod with a piece of flat brass stock silver soldered in a "T". You can =
grind the ends round and file sand buff whatever. Bend a handle shape in =
the other end. Cover the brass with bushing cloth and clean away! I have =
three home made tools that I have been using for years. Ever since I saw =
Spurlock's!=20

  You absolutely MUST get the Spurlock sound board cleaning brush/rake =
thingies, (not really sure what to call it, sort of a squeegee for piano =
dirt).  Once you use these tools you will never use anything else.  I =
have thoroughly cleaned a dirty board in ten minutes with these.   If =
you are not familiar with this tool see it here:
