I was told that French Polishing protects against color fading of stained
wood finishes better than Lacquer.  Is there any truth to that?  The piano
in question is one of those Steinway exotic wood finishes which is fading
though it is in a room with no direct sunlight and UV on all the windows. 
A finisher suggested that when the piano needs refinishing French Polish
would protect it better.
