it works!
Either leave as is or sand that panel down and revarnish it... or use wedish oil on the sanded portion. You may not be able to make it disappear completely.
The water mark is water beneath the finsh. You will need to displace the water in order to fix it.
First , I would attempt to use an orange oil to see if it will naturally displace the water. If that doesn't work then try to make it evaporate with a heat gun on low setting. Do not ruin the finish by not moving it enough. If you are unsure of how not to ruin it, then don't try this. When you are done, reoil it several days in a row to replenish the oil that will evaporate as well so it doesn't crack.
I have had some success in the long term with using murphys oil soap to clean the area and then using a lemon oil soak on lighter colored pieces.
You need a professional wood worker or furniture or musical instrument finisher. They will need to sand off the damaged finish and reapply, by spray, the same finish it has on it now. They can test to find if it is shellac, lacquer, or some sort of varnish. May have to remove all finish from the top to get a consistent surface.
while I could give you the detailed instructions on how to do this task - not difficult, but time consuming. The best answer is in an excellent and entertaining (surprisingly enough) book entitled "the Furniture Doctor" which is available used on Ebay, or through Amazon.com. This will deal with the differing requirments for types of wood, solids or laminate etc.
Many instruments these days are made with a heavy fibre-board with veneer - therefore, the type of solvents necessary to do this job, and leave your finish intact so that no one will know it has been re-finished must be chosen with great care.
Secondly, under no circumstances be in a hurry, or try to hasten effective times by using too much, or going to second steps too soon. the process should take about 3 days - most of which is spent doing other things while your application does its work - very simple, but patience is essential. I own one of the first Allen digitals, full church organ, and appreciate your pain deeply.
