But please be mindful that the wretched yuck which we routinely remove from pianos ( mose feces, dessicated cat pee, etc.. ) contains pathogens and tiny, tiny bits which EASILY traverse the holes in vacuum cleaner bags which are, to them, about as restrictive as the Lincoln Tunnel is to a Miata! For this reason I do not use vacuums to blow air into pianos, but have on my Dirty Piano Service Call Truck a big air compressor and about 150 feet of hose. If it's JUST dust I will vacuum, then blow out. But if its really, nastier stuff I will get the piano on a porch and blast away, inviting the customer to view ( from a safe distance) the amazing cloud of filth which rises from thgeir parlor's most frequent resident. ( They usually are very grateful. ) Thump --- Brian Lawson <lawsonic@bdmail.co.za> wrote: > Take along a vacuum cleaner, one which also blows. > > Brian > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dave Davis" <davistunes@yahoo.com> > To: "Pianotech" <pianotech@ptg.org> > Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 7:30 PM > Subject: Hammer fluff fallout > > > When I'm re-shaping hammers, there's always a lot of > fluff that floats around.
