You insert it between unisons and scrub the felted end back and forth across the soundboard while you vacuum overhead with the crevice tool. There are three different sizes for different parts of the string area. You can clean about 95% of the large section of the board and on many grands the smallest tool can be used between the bridge and the plate and also around the bass bridge. This is the best system I've used. The brass wire will not mark the strings unless you really get carried away. Hope this helps, Warren -- Home of the Humor List Warren D.
