Yes, that's been suggested to me before! unfortunately (or fortunately for 99% of the time), he's a brilliant guitarist. And (just to offset my complaint), the head tutor at a folk study week that I went to last year told me that some keys can be tricky/awkward for both guitarists and fiddlers, though he still agreed that the singer should ultimately set the key.

I'm hoping my solution in my above post will maximise the chances of us finding a key we're all happy with and minimise the squabbles...
