I'm not sure how much space you have but if you need a compact compressor (4 gallon tank or so) you can find one through Harbor Freight tools. Over the last few years their tools have gotten better, especially if you are using it light duty, the cheap prices almost make them throw away if something goes wrong. I am looking at a very compact, 2hp, 4 gallon unit, for less than $100.00, or a 5hp, 13 gallon unit for $169.00. A very similar Craftsman compressor at Sears is on sale for $300.00. Keep in mind if you are going to need it for heavy duty use you will probably be better off with a higher quality unit. harborfreight.com David Koelzer Vintage Pianos DFW 4100.00
