Re: My local repairman suggested using orange peels in the case....

I don't know why so many responders have had problems with orange peels. I've used them interchangeably with dampits over several decades and never had a mold problem with the orange peels, never had a garbagy smell from them and never had insects or bugs of any kind come after them in my case. Once they've dried out, I throw them out and replace them with new ones. I am careful not to leave any pulp attached to the peels - I don't know how fermenting pulp would turn out. I've even forgotten them occasionally in my E-flat case and they've been dry but otherwise harmless after weeks. I agree that dampits are easier - for one thing you have to buy and then eat the orange first if you want the peels - not a bad thing but takes a little planning. Dampits have only to be re-wet when they dry out and they're good for another day or so.
