By far the best vac I have ever used for pianos, (portable for on location), is the Eureka "Mighty-Mite". This vac has been around for many years and a number of variations have appeared as the company has released new and improved models. This machine both sucks and blows. It is pretty powerful as far as small vacs go and it is very light weight. It seems to be somewhat hard to find. Sears currently carries it. K-Mart and Wal-Mart have had it but only for a very short time every couple years as an advertised promotion special and then they are quickly gone again. If you are shopping for a new portable vac for pianos, try and locate one of these. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
