Yes Phil,  you certainly can make them yourself.  But it would take me =
better than an hour to collect materials,  cut,  grind,  solder and =
cover with cloth when I could have bought Bill's already made for $22.  =
If you have nothing else to do,  fine.  If you're backed up with work,  =
you just lost money by making them yourself.  Unless you charge less =
than $22/hr.  What I like about Bill's tools is that HE makes them and =
sells them for less than I can do it my self.  And he makes them all =
pretty well.   Don't get me wrong,  I have no problem with people making =
their own anything.  I just try to look at the economics of it.  =
Sometimes it doesn't make sense to do it yourself,  if your costing =
yourself money.

  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:
