A piano teacher we know has a client whose high polish ebony Yamaha
grand was 
apparently not covered properly during painting.  The painter not only 
splattered some paint onto the rear portion of the bow but also seems to
have 
made a brush mark in the same area.  The paint has been on the piano for

about 2 1/2 years.  What would be the best course of action to remove
the 
paint without damaging the polyester finish?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Lanie -

There is a product called "Oops!" that is specifically designed to
safely remove dried latex paint from surfaces.  Sometimes it actually
works ;-).   If not, the paint will likely have to be buffed off with
fine abrasives, followed by a thorough polishing/buffing of the entire
case part to get the sheen uniform.

Also called GOOF-OFF sold in the Mass . area where Lanie is located.
