The Model 108 is fine for anyone to learn on It would be nice if all children could learn on a piano as modern as that

Yamaha M108

I have a white Yamaha M108 c. 1987 (s/n 4377584) that I was given and I am interested in selling - none of my children have been interested in playing piano.

Can anybody advise me the best way to sell the piano and what it should be worth. It is in good condition but in need of tuning.

Ebay even though I hate to say it. White is going to be a nightmare to sell. I almost wouldnt take a white piano into our shop if it was given to us free of charge.

Worth bu**er all in white, love!

The actual model is very good though. It's a Japanese built piano similar to the Indonesian built b1 which is current. Many would rate it as a better piano all round.

In the right setting and joking apart, white can be OK, so yes, eBay is the route to go. You also have rarity on your side since so few were made. Put a reserve on it for what you'll be prepared to accept.

I like white, it brightens up the room! Off white is a different matter and cream is yuck. White polyester is very difficult to find and as such, there are people out there looking high and low. I once had a small modern white piano in, had loads of calls from all over the country.Stick it on ebay, and put some tel. of removers like Piano logistics, Butlers etc so the people can get quotes easy.
