Dear Chris,
this depends on the coating.
"Light stains" sounds like shellc to me. Give it a careful try with some alcohol on a Q-tip. You might take off the white spot, but the shellac will be gone too. So the next step is to aply new shellac . I still doubt, that this will make things a lot better, just a little.
You certainly do not want to strip the whole surface ans build up a new shellac coating.
"Light stains" could also occur on a waxed surface (does it squeak when you rub it?). This is easier: A rub with a cloth and some new wax should do it. If not, remove some wax first using alcohol.
Greetings
Michael

Betreff: Oak harpsichord & stain removal
Dear members,
I currently have a harpsichord in my workshop of which the case is made entirely in oak. The instrument was not meant to be a copy but is inspired by the Franco Flemish school. Apparently the choice for oak came from the original owner: a music school want an instrument that was somewhat sturdy.
I have some vague memories that there is a historical (German?) instrument also completely in oak. Is this correct? Any ideal what instrument that would have been.
Anyway, on the outside there are some ugly water marks (light coloured). Is there a good way to get rid of those?
Greetings,
Chris.
