However, in time it will probably dissipate to an acceptable level. Things that MAY help are: -'smell-be-gone' products like Nil-Odor. checking with janitorial suppliers is a good idea -fragrances, as you mention. Lavender is purported to be especially good. -open containers of baking soda... in this case, 875 boxes :) -crumpled up newspaper in a closed case absorbs an amazing amount of odor -kerosene and matches (just kidding...)

We think the former owners were smokers big time. There's no evidence of mice. When scrubbing down the cabinet a white rag would turn brown with just a few swipes. We have washed the cabinet, soundboard and back posts as good as possible. I have used steel wool on the keys sticks and keybed. The smell was still there so we hauled the piano to Americlean and had them put it in their ozone chamber. At first the smell was more pleasant but now it stinks again. We bought some deodorant gadgets to hang inside which didn't smell all that great either. One day we put it out in sunshine with action exposed to the sun. In fact, I can smell the dang thing as I type this message. Help!! Help!! Anyone have any other suggestions? Actually this Kimball stinks in more ways than one if you know what I mean.
