[pianotech] mold

[Leslie Bartlett]

I have a church client with a Baldwin Hamilton needing new hammers (which
have been ordered) because the felts are coming unglued.   They also have
some mold on the inside of the piano. It's not a great amount, but I haven't
a clue as to how to deal with the problem. They have problems with 3-4 other
pianos as well. Newly installed dampp chasers should stop it, and changes to
their AC should lower humidity to well within tolerable limits (56% today,
as opposed to 75% a few weeks ago).  How do I deal with this problem, other
than tell them the piano is shot, or make sure the outside is spotless?

Thanks
