I got a question yesterday I didn't have an answer for.  

The owner of the piano asked me if sunlight would damage the finish on her piano.   Normally, I inform the client that long-term exposure to sunlight will fade the finish and/or leave a milky white patina to the wood.

However, this piano is white.  I don't know if the finish is lacquer or polyester.  It was a Young Chang GP150.    

Didn't know what to say. 
 
Will sunlight damage a white finish, too?  Or is that the only advantage to having a white piano?  Other than boldly announcing to the world: "I have no taste in decorating!"
