I believe the original question related to "newer Japanese pianos", which certainly would not be lacquer. On these polyester finishes, alcohol is fine. Especially the amounts found in windex! Even rubbing alcohol, as Kevin noted, has no detrimental effect on polyester. Lacquer is a different story, but few new pianos have been coated with NC lacqer since the mid-to-late 70's, to my knowledge. Especially Japanese.... The fact that Cory promises no alcohol means that it is safe for 'all finishes'. Old and new.....
