a certain amount of dust is generated, and its accumulation in your lungs is not healthy! The lungs have tiny fingers called cilia which effectively sweep out debris. A snippet of frog's throat will climb up a glass jar (or so I've heard). Without these little sweepers, one's lungs would

How long do pegs last? Do their friction surfaces wear smooth (become polished), and lose their ability to hold the strings at tension?
