A repairman at a local music store said they could give it a chemical bath for somewhere around $60+, plus some pads will probably need to be replaced. Is this the way to go or am i being scammed?Now I'm pretty sure that the mold should be taken care, because I don't want it to further damage the horn. But then again, it is just a student model yamaha yas-23...and I've been considering upgrading, so would putting more money into this horn (it's needed expensive repairs before) be even worth it in the long run?</blockquote>
