stripping question

[Ross White]

If you sand, remember that you are probably sanding a veneer.  Don't sand
through it.  
Parke's Furniture Refinisher is the same chemical analysis as Formby's, and
costs about one-sixth as much.

Just wanted to check with you all on what your prefered methods for removing
an old finish and stain on an old instrument. The thing has the origional
coating, and some extremely poorly applied modern lacquer of unknown sort.

Sanding verses chemicals ?? All comments welcome

Thanks
