"Green stuff growing inside"

[Lance Lafargue]

You'll have to see what the green stuff is and if it matters.  I've heard
nice pianos with green stuff growing in them.  Nothing like playing with
the smell of Bleau Cheese in the air.  Usually it's just the cabinet lid,
etc.  I clean it with water and Clorox or Murphy's oil soap.  If the
piano's kept dry for a change, the green stuff turns black and stops
growing.  Like old broccoli in the fridge.
