This is partly because I don't want to damage the flanges. And I doubt that side-to-side brushing would result in a well-groomed or -shaped hammer. So I can't see any advantage in that technique. Sometimes, when I tune for my dentist, I floss between the keys. Tom -- Thomas A. Cole, RPT Santa Cruz, CA mailto:tcole@cruzio.com
