Ridding Musty Smells
By Dan Armstrong

Hi all,  This is in regards to John's question to get rid of the awful
musty smells.  _If_ it's mold or mildew or some sort of fungus, the
best cure is to scrub it out vigorously with a dilute chlorine bleach
solution (I'm assuming the problem is in the keybed area or down by the
pedals).  This will clean the wood and kill the fungus as well as
getting rid of that objectionable odor.  This method also takes care of
the mouse smell from rodent infested pianos.

From the no-longer-frozen and bug infested north,
