I did this once - but was able to wheel the piano outside to do it. =
Whose house do you use compressed air in to clean a dusty piano - and =
who pays the house-cleaning bill? I don't even like doing that in my =
shop!

small shop vac that has reverse air flow. Definitely not as good as the =
air compressor, but not bad either. And a lot lighter to carry as well.
