I've started collecting movies and books that the left will go after just in case things go south. I went with a lot of Mell Brooks and Monty Python classics for DVD's. For books, Orwell and Bradbury.
Any other selections to pay attention to?

Piano's have had a really rough go of it. People are philistines :(
It would be wonderful if you would adopt and restore to glory one of the many orphans and "furniture" pieces on their way to the dump :(
They are extremely heavy, and it is a challenge, but most are free.
As for size and shape, it depends on what sound you want and how much space you want to devote to it. Many uprights are solid, baby grands too.
Of course, if you are going to restore one to its former glory - you should do your homework and get someone knowledgeable to help you pick one (or make sure the one you've picked is a good bet).
Good luck!
Yeah in the shorter term would be something small. I'd want to get myself into trying to play again. I haven't touched one in 25 years but it's nothing I couldn't pick up again. Not that I was any good before but it's all practice. If I got enough dedication I could certainly make more space for something nice. Pianos are kinda sad because one of my favorite instruments and have become so much not a thing. I'm not sure anyone learns to play them anymore.
