I had a similar situation with a piano I traded for. Called a mortician friend who gave me a sprayable liquid with no latent odor that dried fairly fast and killed the mold and mildew fast. Can't remember the name of the product but can find out.

She had the house taken care of by some professional service, but not the piano. I don't know how bad it is - haven't been over there yet, but based on the conversation, it's not too bad probably. Maybe I could smell down the offending parts, and clean them. Although spraying the whole thing with a magic spray would be nice! Or maybe burning anti-mildew incense in the room?. Also, she would like some cheap humidity-control: absorbant-packs like the desiccants you get with certain things. I remember someone was selling large ones at a PTG convention a couple years ago, but just spent 30 minutes looking through old stuff and couldn't find it. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
