Making the call

Is The MC108 Right For You?

Read both. The second list is the one that saves people money.

Choose the MC108 if

  • Your room is small, or the piano shares a wall with a neighbour
  • You would rather have a small acoustic than a large digital
  • You want the lowest-profile acoustic piano that is still a real piano

Look at something else if

  • You are working towards higher grades and need more bass
  • You want an instrument that will still satisfy an advanced player in five years
Sound and size

What The MC108 Sounds Like

Short strings, so the tone is direct rather than deep. In a small tiled room that is usually an advantage, because a big piano in a hard little room mostly gives you echo.

Set against the Yamaha U1H, the most commonly sold used Yamaha here, it is 13 cm shorter and 37 kg lighter. Among the lightest we list, in a range that runs from 180 kg to 254 kg.

Yamaha is the brighter and quicker of the two, which is why exam candidates keep asking for one. Some players find the treble tiring over long sessions. Which you prefer is genuinely personal, and twenty minutes at the shop settles it faster than any description.

Room and access

Will it get in?

  • Space: about 1.5 m of wall
  • Floor: roughly 1.0 m²
  • Case width 148 cm, depth 54 cm
  • Access: Lift or stairs

At 180 kg this is one of the easier pianos to get into an awkward place. At 54 cm front to back it is one of the shallower cases in the range, which is worth knowing if the hallway it has to pass through is narrow.

Buying it used

What You Are Actually Buying

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the MC108 you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included.

The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do.

Questions

Yamaha MC108: What People Ask

How big is the Yamaha MC108?

108 cm tall, 148 cm wide, 54 cm deep, and about 180 kg. Height sets the tone, weight sets what delivery day looks like.

Will a MC108 fit my place?

You need about 1.5 m of wall and roughly 1.0 m². At 180 kg this is one of the easier pianos to get into an awkward place. Message us the room and the floor. It takes a minute and saves a wasted trip.

Is a used MC108 a safe buy?

We do not guess about individual instruments. Ask what was replaced on the MC108 you are looking at and we will tell you, serial number included. There is a five-year warranty behind it, and we are the ones who service it.

Can I rent a MC108 instead?

Rent-to-own runs on a separate pool that changes weekly, so we cannot promise a MC108 specifically. Ask what is free now. Nothing paid in rent is wasted if you decide to keep the piano.

Do you have a MC108 in stock?

Ask, because it changes week to week. No stock today does not mean no stock next month. We watch for specific models.

How often does a MC108 need tuning in Malaysia?

Twice a year. The piano heater that comes with it is not a gimmick. In a damp house, run on a timer, it is the cheapest maintenance you will do. We include the two tunings it needs after moving.
