The problem is well known and still not perfectly solved: Dirt collects on the diamond of the pickup system and this reduces its scanning ability. The more dirt and dust that accumulates, the more urgent cleaning becomes. The special brush from Martina Schöner is the ideal tool for this. It has washable white brush hairs that are just rigid enough to remove dirt and at the same time flexible enough not to bend the needle carrier. This works equally in the dry state as well as in the state wetted with needle cleaner. The rounded side of the brush is used to paint back to front. The beveled brush side is used to clean the diamond sideways from the left and right.
For the best possible inspection of the needle, we recommend the special loupe from L’Art du Son with LED lighting.
