Here is our subject - a Baldwin grand which has not been cleaned for ... well, a long time. Notice dust on dampers and plate, as well as sounboard. (Yes, you can clean the plate and dampers yourself. But please read warnings first!) |
The tuning pin area. Dust gets between pins, under strings and on the colored felt padding. |
Another view of the soundboard. |
 The
action of a grand piano can be removed, but certain cabinet parts
have to be unscrewed and removed first. |
 Removing
the action allows me to vacuum off the action parts, but more importantly,
it gives me access to the upper treble end of of the soundboard from
inside the action cavity. I can also vacuum dust and debris from
the keybed (inside of the piano). |
