A Bosendorfer upright if I found a really nice sounding one - we haven't got room for a grand unless we ate off it or slept on it!

I'd commission something full of bells and wells and gadgets, like a built in harmonica or a bass drum operated with the left foot (I bet some Beethoven with added kick drum could be good fun)

I tune a 1700s one with bells and a drum. But I'm not allowed to use the drum pedal because it makes the dog go loopy.

Haha, that's brilliant. I didn't imagine for a second that something like that already existed!

You need to brush up on your early keyboard history Get thee to the library!

'Men, Women and Pianos' is an excellent readable book. It's by a yank and published by Dover (she said, accurately... )

Out of stock on Amazon. Well the new one is anyway.
Cheapest used one in the UK is £32.
Is it worth paying that much for it do you think?
