Sheesh! After reading this thread, I realize how lucky I am that my partner loves to hear me playing whichever instrument! Well... Okay, the tin whistles do get on her nerves a bit, but I think that's more a reflection of my playing than her views on the instruments themselves. But, generally Amy thinks the music is wonderful and is especially happy for me to keep her company and play in the kitchen while she's washing dishes, or elsewhere when she's working with wool and pointy sticks. Sorry for your dilemma, Hardiman. Now I'll go count my blessings for awhile.
