Hi Terry,
 
I have refinished plenty of pianos over the years. To even out this stain
problem I would just use #1 steel wool with lacquer thinner and rub the
whole area down. When the thinner starts to dry use a dry clean pad of steel
wool to finish off ( rubbing with grain). The should even out the area and
removed any finish left behind. I always do this to all surfaces to clean up
after stripping the area with paint and varnish remover. You should only
need a light sanding with 120, 180 and 220 paper before the next step.

I stripped the finish off the inside of the case (rim) of a piano I am
working on. I used a methylene-chloride-free product called Dyna-Strip 2,
sold by Pianolac. One application of stripper left on overnight removed the
finish completely - it literally fell off - no scraping required at all. I'm
very happy with that aspect of the results.
 
In some areas, hunks of the stripper slid down the face of the rim - it
still removed the finish - but in those areas, less stain was removed. So
now I have shadows of light and dark where there was an apparent difference
in stain removal.
 
What is the best way to address these stain shadows?
