[pianotech] Cleaning Solution

[Arlie Rauch]

Thanks for the suggestions some of you have sent my way.  This will  
give me something to go on.  I don't know why, but I wrote pinblock  
instead of sound board.  Yes, the pin area is dirty and needs to be  
cleaned, but so does the sound board.

Any ideas on the sound board cleaning?
