I just bought a used piano and it stinks from what smells like years of cigarette smoke. I spent an hour cleaning the exterior of the cabinet with water and vinegar but it still smells really bad. Will the smell eventually dissipate or is there anything else I can try?

It will diminish but it will never go away.
You may try putting some charcoal inside and / or a small wide glass half filled with white vinegar.
I will try that - thanks!
Darn, that's what I was afraid of!
Before giving up hope, you could try calling a wood restoration business, or a smoke damage specialist to see if they have any suggestions.
Nan
Excellent idea - thank you!
