I use the Oreck. Good for vacuuming out keybeds, pedal areas in verticals, etc. Good for blowing out actions, etc. When blowing, take out the bag for more power. Can be used to clean soundboards, but the customer wouldn't be too happy. Speaking of cleaning soundboards, what is the simplest way to clean soundboards? I used to use a "tiger's tail", which worked g-rr-ee-aa-tt..., but had to leave it behind when I left the university. It's not being made anymore. Also the felt covered squeegee devises (different sizes).
