Here's a source for finding "clean" swabs for cleaning: TexWipe 650 E Crescent Avenue P.O. Box 308 Upper Saddle, NJ 07458 Phone: 800/284-5577 Fax: 800/569-3600 They make cleaning/clean room supplies for the computer industry (disk/tape cleaning stuff). They might have something that would work. Might be worth talking to a rep or getting a catalog to see. Also, I have had better results using a long "screw finder" in some pianos than a sound board steel for cleaning. (I think mine is made by Craftsman -- it's the long flexible shaft with the 'claw' at the end to retrieve lost screws). Mark Cunningham Chattanooga, TN MARK@cstcc.cc.tn.us
