Re: Best way to clean mold?

I once bought an instrument in rather similar condition from eBay - a 1977 Buffet S1. I certainly encourage you to have yours fixed, as my wreck plays beautifully now. All main screws and rods on the keywork were recoverable with oiling, but many springs were rusted away, and indeed in the case of the A key the little screw holding the spring to the key also disintegrated. Having that redrilled was the only point at which I needed professional help.

Regarding getting mould off the body, what I did was use silver polish wadding ("Silvo" in the UK). This is extremely light abrasive in oil, soaked into cotton wool, and it cleaned things up perfectly, leaving the body looking shiny and new.
