New soundboard cleaning tool from Unger

[gordon stelter]

I use a  long-handled hex wrench, holding the
"business" end, and slipping the "T" handle between
the strings when I want to exert some real prssure to
scrub out a stain, etc..  Works like the Spurlock
cleaners, but since it is made of hexagonal spring
steel you can exert a lot more force on it, with a
rag, pad, or steel wool, etc.. beneath.
     Tape wrapped around the stem keps it from
scratching strings.
     Thump
