I have a prospect to clean a Kawai Grand. Besides <BR>> vacuuming everywhere, removing the action, dusting, polishing the <BR>> case, cleaning the soundboard with the soundboard steel, what else <BR>> can i do? can't you clean the sounboard and plate w/ a vinegar/water <BR>> solution? Is there a good reference how-to for this whole cleaning <BR>> procedure or is it a quick explanation? (i don't expect anyone to <BR>> take too much of their time if unnecessary. ) Also, what is the <BR>> estimated time? and what is a standard ballpark fee? <BR>> I should probably polish the brass parts right? <BR>> -Noah </BLOCKQUOTE></body></html>
