Solvent used on clarinet and not rinsed?

Hi folks,
I just bought a great used clarinet (hard rubber - not wood). It appeared to have been wonderfully restored with new cork and pads. When it arrived today, I had to step back after I opened the box (yes the outer box) because of the strong odor of some sort of solvent. When I removed the case and opened it, the fumes were really overwhelming. I removed the clarinet (which really does look great) and threw the case in the outside garbage because I couldn't stand the smell. It wasn't any good anyway. I was really hoping that the case was the source of the smell, but it isn't. I have just spent quite awhile wiping down this instrument both inside and out and getting every nook and cranny reachable. It still burns my nose and I can't imagine trying to play it. I'm used to smelling gasoline, paint, etc. so it's not just a sensitive nose issue. (No, I don't smell them on purpose :bluewink

My questions are:

• What kind of solvent do you think it is.
• Will it evaporate?
• If not, is it removable?
• If so, can I remove the solvent without taking everything apart?
• Should I call the EPA to handle it as HazMat? (just kidding)

Thanks for any help. :|
