The crevice tool of my PortaPower fits over two tuning pins at a time and
does a surprisingly good job of removing whatever from around the tuning
pins in the plate holes. What doesn't come out this way may very well be
gone when you start blowing with the same crevice tool - not as good as a
compressor maybe, but we're talking in people's houses, right?
