The Reid-Sohn S108 is an ultra-compact, modern-style upright piano finished in high-gloss black, making it an excellent choice for smaller living spaces where footprint matters but musical enjoyment is still a priority. Its clean, contemporary styling and petite size make it especially appealing for beginners or families seeking an accessible first piano. This instrument does show some cosmetic cabinet wear, including chips on the front fallboard, small marks near the top right corner, and minor chips along the front main board rail. Importantly, it does not suffer from the heavy swirl marks often seen on gloss finishes, so despite these age-related blemishes, the piano still presents neatly in a domestic setting. Tonally and mechanically, the S108 offers a pleasant, straightforward playing experience, ideal for early learners and casual players. Its compact cabinet houses a surprisingly capable tone for its size, making it a practical and enjoyable instrument for everyday home use. A charming, space-saving upright that represents strong value for money – an excellent beginner’s piano with the advantage of a modern aesthetic and a light, manageable footprint.
