---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello - I am working with a 1915 Cable-Nelson upright piano which my client recently bought from someone who had stored it in their basement. The piano has what appears to be two different types of mold growing inside the cabinet. One type is black and very flat, and seems to be mostly attacking the wood parts - keys, cabinet, damper heads, etc. The other type is white and grows in small fuzzy clumps, and is mostly on the damper felts. The piano owner is allergic to mold, so we need to get rid of this problem one way or another (I would advocate getting rid of the piano, but she wants to keep it). Do you have suggestions for cleaning mold out of a piano so it won't re-appear? Are there different treatments for different types of mold? Would spraying Lysol inside the piano do any good, or even be advisable? Even though I'm not allergic, could working on pianos like this one pose a threat to my health? This is not the first piano I've seen with mold problems, and I always recommend installation of a Dampp-Chaser system, but getting rid of what's already in there is the big concern for me. Thanks! -Scott Helms, RPT West Michigan Chapter ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
