Too bad it's not an organ you're trying to buy;  they could be "organ
donors".
Let's see, ah . . . keyboard connoisseurs,  keyboard curators,  piano lov...
How 'bout terms like pianissimo, piano, mezzo-forte, forte, fortissimo  or
one octave, two octaves, .... seven octaves,  88'er.   Or baby grand, parlor
grand, conservatory grand, concert grand,  nah ....  How 'bout  etude,
prelude, sonatina, sonata, fantasia, concerto, virtuoso?   --Dave N.
