Sy,
I got a product from Schaff called X-O Plus + Cleaner.  It's an enzymatic
cleaner. It claims to be "effective on all purulent odors" and has a money
back guarantee.  I've used it on actions that had been in house fires with
great success.  Maybe this would do the trick.

    We have taken in a 1976 Kimball console which has a bad odor. 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.
