First an introduction: I'm Amy Zilk a newbie tech in Oregon...I just had my first customer last week. I researched portable vacuums and bought a 3M electronics vacuum. It's designed for copier technicians to vacuum out the toner dust and trap it in the filter instead of spreading it all over the room, and it has tiny little attachments for getting into small crevices in the piano. Here's a link to a picture. http://www.precision.com/Cleaning%20Products/3M%20Vacuum.htm I bought mine online (not at this site) in December for $196.24 including shipping. I would suggest checking around for the best price online. It's a good product and my customer was impressed by this cool high tech tool. Amy pianotune05 wrote: > What about Oreck?
