Hi there San Fransisco... :) Jim Ellis reminds us of times long past. And to be sure, moths and other unwelcome insectual type guests are less a problem these days. But they pop up. Fortunatly today there are a host of products available for use that work fine in pianos. Go to your local insect poison shop and explain the problem... that you have to kill the darn things... but you have lots of metal parts that can corrode if the wrong stuff is applied. And... of course that pianos are usually inside. Moth balls, if I remember correctly.... are not a good idea... tho I do not remember the reason given. I use a pump spray product that soaks into key bed felts and wood and other such areas and it works very very well and lasts for a couple years. Usually, if you get attacked... they will come back at you in the future at some time. At least thats my experience. btw... Hi Doug ! Long time since I heard from you. Cheers RicB
