Greg If mold is inhaled, will cause respiratory problems. You say it is in the action. Can you be more specific? Is it on the hammer, the keys, wippens, strings, what? The best way to get rid of mold is with a mold killer product you can buy at most hardware stores. But it is a liquid that contains bleach. So be careful how you use it.

It smells as well. I'd like to know if there is a health concern here, and, if so,what measures can be taken to clean it up. The piano is old and mostly kept for sentimental reasons but its playability is apparently unaffected by this as yet. Any help appreciated.
