Hi Alan. Perhaps I misunderstand your post. Are you thinking of using a compressor inside customers homes to clean action and inside case areas ? If so I have to strongly advise you not to. The only situation I can think of where this does not spell danger is when the piano is already clean ! :) A compressor that can be driven from your car battery is cool for blowing out the action outside however. Cheers RicB ---------------------------------------------- In perusing my Sears tool catalogue, I noticed a couple of lightweight = (5 or 7 lbs.) 120 volt portable air compressors for only $40 - $50. Have = any of you used something like this to clean clients pianos? I know it = would be a bit messy, but it sure would be easier than using the = under-the-strings squegee-like tools I have. If the client has a vacuum = and wouldn't mind a little dust and junk to clean up around the piano, = it seems like it might be a good approach. Unless it's on a spotless new = carpet, I suppose - then you'd probably have to get involved in = spreading ground cloths around! Well, maybe it would depend on the = situation and environment. I've certainly been in houses where doing = this would hardly affect the overall cleanliness level!=20 I've often wished I could blow an action out on the spot - one could = even take it outside to do it if it was really nasty. Any feedback or opinions? Sincerely, Allen Wright, RPT Cincinnati, Ohio=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment
