Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Reid Sohn grand a good entry-level instrument?

Yes. The Reid Sohn grand is one of the most accessible routes into grand piano ownership, and at this price it represents genuine value for a buyer who wants the experience of playing a real grand piano without a large financial commitment. The action is a genuine grand mechanism, gravity-reset rather than spring-reset like an upright, which means even at this price level you are getting the more responsive, nuanced touch that makes a grand piano a different experience to an upright.

How does a Reid Sohn grand compare to a used Yamaha baby grand at a similar price?

A used Yamaha baby grand at this price would be an older instrument, typically from the 1970s or 1980s, from one of the world's most respected manufacturers. The Yamaha will typically offer a more refined tone and stronger resale value. The Reid Sohn is a more modest instrument, but it is a genuine grand piano and for a buyer stepping up from an upright it represents a meaningful and affordable improvement. We stock used Yamaha grands and are happy to let you compare both at our showroom.

Is a grand piano significantly better than a professional upright for a developing student?

For most serious players, yes. A grand piano action resets by gravity rather than by spring, which allows faster repetition, finer dynamic control, and a more expressive, responsive feel overall. Even a modest entry-level grand like this Reid Sohn offers an action quality that a developing pianist will benefit from. The step up from upright to grand is one of the most meaningful improvements a committed player can make.

Has this piano been serviced before sale?

Yes. This instrument has been assessed and prepared by our team at The Piano Gallery and is ready to play. We are transparent about the condition of every piano we sell and happy to answer detailed questions before purchase.

How long will a Reid Sohn grand last?

A well-maintained Reid Sohn grand should give many years of reliable service for home practice and teaching use. With regular tuning and sensible placement away from heat and damp, this instrument will continue to serve its owner well for a long time.
