My question is this: is there an adverse effect to an instrument (be it
clarinet, sax or flute) to having moth balls in the case?

They're certainly poisonous to human beings. I've seen plenty of
warnings not to use them where chldren have access. There is a doctor
on this list who perhaps can give you more certain information. For
myself, I buy balls made of red cedar (as in cedar closets) which keep
the moths away.
