Don't worry Martin... is inevitable.. it happened to anyone of us... sooner or later you will add to your congas and bogos a clave, different size and shape of maracas, shaker and caxixi, plastic - metal - gourd guiro, cowbells, pandeiro, agogo, why not a timbales, may be a surdo, berimbau, batà , tambora, djembe .... you will be fascinated by anything making a sound!
Apart from that, if you have to decide now what to start with you could make your choice thinking of "what instrument i would like to play" and "what instrument I can actually use in the style of music I normally play when my congas don't fit (or togheter with congas and bongo)".
