Hey Richard, May I suggest investing in a 'china bristle' paint brush, about 2' wide, with 3 to 4 inch bristles. You'll know you've found the china bristle brushes, when you see the price tag...about $12 compared to $3 for the nylon. This kind of brush will last or several year of hard use...( I use mine 'dry', to kick up dust while vaccuming around tuning pins, bridge pins and caps, string under-felt, bass bridge skirt, etc) I like T.S.P. disolved in hot H 2 O, for nasty plate (and board) cleaning, but I avoid using H 2 O around the pins. It can be done, with the brush slightly moist. If the plate and board are real dirty, uniformity of cleanliness is very dificult to acheive. Spurlocks 'soundboard cleaning tools, and the "Tiger-tail" (Pianotech) are great investments. Please post me for more specifics about using T.S.P. if you like. Dan Reed Dallas Chapter
