I bought an upright piano with a smell SO RANK there was no way I could bring it into the living room...and this was after we'd restored the outside. We tipped the piano onto its side (not as hard as you'd think) and painted the inside of it with a mixture of denatured alcohol and eucalyptus oil...over and over for several days. It worked like a charm. If you bought, say, a chest of drawers that smells like smoke, this method works great. Eucalyptus has been used for centuries to deodorize (and embalm). It certainly got rid of the three pack/day for forty years smell for us! The eucalyptus smell eventually fades.
