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.
