Les, I doubt seriously that the units would kill off mold but they would go quite a ways to preventing it in the first place. They will likely need to clean the mold first, by hand, and then install the D\C units to prevent regrowth.

I looked at one piano, on way to tune another. This church has 20, and they are considering DCs for all of them- but presently there is mold on the keysticks, and a bit on the music rack. Does anyone know what kind of legal issues come into play here, a church where LOTS of people are in and out? In a church setting- room AC on two times a week (Houston), would that cause the hammer felts to come unglued from the moldings?
