I know what you mean, I've been a naughty boy three times in a fortnight. I cleared a space for a Pape Console, and before I even got it, an Arts & Crafts thing appeared from down the road, then an interesting 1850-ish cottage piano turned up at the local auction. Oh dear!! I neeeeeeeeed a museum.

It depends on the compass of the instrument.
