Subj: RE: [kl] Moth-eaten pads & moth balls

Brent asked:

<<<I went to my "music room" and pulled out an old A clarinet i'm no longer
using because i find i might have a buyer for it. I wanted to check it out
before i commit to selling it. I found that a couple of pads needed to be
replaced due to the efforts of hungry vermin. . . . 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?>>>

The poison that kills the moths might kill you, too.

OTOH, it would prevent the vermin from feasting at the Buffet table!

(Sorry -- could not resist).
