Cleanup of Used Carrying Case?

Author: Dave Bishop

We recently picked up a used Bundy clarinet as a 2nd instrument for my daughter (it was made around 1964 and was a gift from her aunt). We have had the instrument rebuilt, but the carrying case is in less than perfect shape. The red velvet cloth lining is stained black wherever the metal bands of the clarinet touched it, the rebuilder mentioned that he saw some moth larvae in the case and that they do damage to the pads, and the whole case has a musty, "probably once stored in a damp basement" odor. Does anyone have suggestions on whether (and how) we should clean up the case, or try to replace the lining, or look for a new case altogether? Thanks.
