Find The Practical Solution
 
Let's play "Find The Practical Solution"!

Dust buildup on your upright piano accumulates periodically. What practical step do you take?
  • Play a lot very loudly -- the vibrations will shake it off.
  • Get a made-to-measure dust sheet which covers you, the bench and the piano -- get in and don't come out.
  • Arrange a water sprinkler above the piano and keep it turned on.
  • Place a cloth on each surface in turn and whilst applying a gentle pressure move it from side to side.
  • Buy a new piano frequently.
  • Raise one end of the piano about 6 inches so there are no horizontal surfaces on which the dust can accumulate.

I do not equate a having a maid with being an elitist. Now - a butler could be :laugh:

The word "maid" makes me cringe. Probably because when I was a kid, I'd ask my mother to do something for me and she'd yell "I'm not your goddamned maid!" :laugh:

David, I would use a Dustbuster with the crevice tool attachment.

If this was about dust accumulating on your "upright organ" I'd tell you that you have more problems then you think. ;)

my practical solution? wait till enough dust accumulates, plant some flowers and sprinkle liberally with plant food and water. voila! who needs a stinkin vase anyway? :woohoo:

Declare dust a threat to national security and invade and blow up piano when dust accumulation reaches threat level. :rolleyes:

I also happen to run a business by myself, run a house by myself and find time to exercise 5-6 times per week.
I am fortunate enough to have a housekeeper so that I can have some time to do what I want/need to do.
I am by no stretch of the imagination wealthy. :)
