Rich >> Steve Brady gave a class on this once, and I tried it a couple of times with great results. Spray the area with Woolite, and soak up the residue with cheese cloth. The cheese cloth is porous enough to soak up the foam, and fibrous enough to get between the tuning pins. Before you do this treatment, however, get as much of the dust and dirt out with a stiff paint brush and a vacuum cleaner. Willem
