I just gave this thread a 5-star rating (the best!) based solely on the amusement value of all the posts. Thanks everyone, it's good to laugh!

Last time I was at the Elderly Instruments repair shop, they had a framed display on the wall of various things they pulled out of instruments. Check it out if you go there. Fascinating.

I was thinking if this bothers you, belly button lint might send you over the top!

Whoa! I think everyone needs to go back and read my earlier post. First, I was a homicide investigator for many years. I've seen a lot. Second, I said the fact that someone categorized it and created a web page about it creeped me out.

I always like to add "uncooked" to the rice suggestion.

A wise idea. Nowadays you just can't assume too much.

Just goes to show there is more than one recipe for "dirty rice".

I used to use compressed air to blow out mandolins and guitars;but,I overdid it last time and blew off the label of a '23 snakehead.
Oops.
Liking the dirty rice method.

Ditto.

You can pour in a half pound of white rice and shake it around to clean up an instrument with dirt problems.

Shake it out carefully and you'll have a clean mandolin.

And a great base for Gumbo.
