<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">A piano teacher we know has a client whose high polish ebony Yamaha grand was <BR>
apparently not covered properly during painting. The painter not only <BR>
splattered some paint onto the rear portion of the bow but also seems to have <BR>
made a brush mark in the same area. The paint has been on the piano for <BR>
about 2 1/2 years. What would be the best course of action to remove the <BR>
paint without damaging the polyester finish?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance for your help!<BR>

Marine grade Naptha should do the trick. Wear gloves and make sure you are in a well ventilated area.<BR>
