http://www.spurlocktools.com/id32.htm Can be used to clean by themselves for light dust, or with a cloth. Micro-fibre cloths are wonderful. In a pinch I have made a similar tool from a coat hanger. There are also rubber/plastic coated soundboard steels available from some of the suppliers, they are less likely to scratch the finish on the board.

I'm looking for some suggestions regarding the cleaning of a Grand Piano. ( Soundboard, strings, felts etc.) The Piano is a Steinway Grand that was in storage for several yrs. I assume the best way to get under the strings is with a cleaning steel. Is it necessary to remove the lid to do this effectively? I have not been involved in any serious cleaning of the soundboard so I would be very appreciative of any "hints" that can help me do a good job.
