Keep a large deather in the piano - that'll probe out that un-wanted =
dust.    (end of Bird Commercial) :-)

  That reminds me of one of my prouder moments in this business.  I went =
to tune a Steinway "A" for a local teacher of high regard.  The top was =
up and I was preparing to tune when she said "Would it be too much =
trouble, would you have to undo all those bolts, to lift up this plate =
so I could dust under it?"  It was a proud moment because I successfully =
suppressed a laugh!

  Yeah, and then the lady looks over your shoulder and notices that =
there is actually a soundboard under all that dust and asks: "is there =
any way to clean that dust out of there?"=20

  =20

  Sure: $$$$$   ;-)

    And the felt wedges do a good job of removing dust and debris from =
odd corners of the plate and soundboard. You've noticed how they dust =
off part of the soundboard when you use them in tuning the treble? One =
can do that on purpose, for places like the plate in front of the =
agraffes, under the tenor wire.=20
