wood burning a music box

i have a music box I just bought as a gift. I want to wood-burn her name on it with scorch paste. How can I do this safely? I know I will have to remove the internal workings, but i am unsure if it is varnished or not. And you are supposed to sand it, but I'm worried it will ruin the look of the base
