We prove: (I) For all integers $n\geq 2$ and real numbers
$x\in (0,\pi)$ we have
$$
\alpha \leq \sum_{j=1}^{n-1}\frac{1}{n^2-j^2} \sin(jx) \leq \beta,
$$
with the best possible constant bounds
$$
\alpha=\frac{15-\sqrt{2073}}{10240}\sqrt{1998-10\sqrt{2073}}=
-0.1171\dots
,\quad\ \beta=\frac{1}{3}.
$$
(II) The inequality
$$
0\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}{(n^2-j^2)} \sin(jx)
$$
holds for all even integers $n\geq 2$ and $x\in (0,\pi)$, and also for all odd
integers $n\geq 3$ and $x\in (0,\pi-\pi/n]$.
