[pianotech] Cleaning Solution

[wimblees at aol.com]

You need to get a soundboard steel cleaning tool. (Pianotek, # STL-250, page B-7), I use it to push a damp rag under the strings. I put a cleaning solution, like Mr. Clean or Simply Green, in the water.

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??
