If you wish to treat the hammers (shanks, flanges, knuckles, etc.) an ozone
blast will take care of the issue.  I'm not a huge proponent of using ozone
on an entire piano (especially where strings/plate exist) as often times the
amount and length of  exposure creates other problems.....which I won't get
into here....but for the hammers, ozone will kill the mold.
