I just bought an antique piano, and the previous owner was kind enough
to give the finish a boost by applying a coat of melted vaseline over
the shellac.

If you do want to try to remove the Vaseline, try Murphy's Oil Soap on an
area that is not highly visible. It should be your safest bet to try, but no
guarantees.
