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. Ron
