Remove mold on wood clarinet

I have a nice Buffet wood clarinet that was stored in the case with moisture in it. It developed a gigantic batch of mold all over the instrument and case.

I have dissembled and washed the instrument. It still has an acute moldy smell.
I am thinking about putting the body it into a ultrasound machine that I have, to try to remove as much of the mold as possible.

I will also need to kiln dry the wood, because the long storage in a moist environment has caused all the parts to swell. I of course have discarded the case.

Has anyone had any successful experiences dealing with this sort of problem. Any ideas for getting rid of the moldy smell in the wood body would be helpful.
thanks
