With a modification, it works great. I put a curl in the plastic core 
and use it with just the terry cloth sleeve. The curl forces the end 
down on the soundboard.

Another wrinkle is to insert the wand at the breaks where possible or 
even between the strings to reach the more remote areas of the board.

Then pull it out after a few strokes and clean with the vacuum.
