Default 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.

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!"

Make sure my housekeeper dusts it regularly.

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?

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

I am by no stretch of the imagination wealthy.
