    There is no sound more malevolent & disturbing than the shrill squeal of a two year old trying to see if they can break a recorder.
    Agreed. Baby BP loves making music and Mrs BP hates noise. Makes for a fun combination.

      You're an amateur. The classy option is a violin with paid for weekly tutor. They can start from age 2 and by the time they are 8 with daily practice they may just about to be able to play it without it sounding like a screaming cat.

      What's worse is that because I'm paying for the lessons my sister in law can't work out how to stop the torture.

        Too expensive. My two year old is a one man demolition derby. I've worked out I need to work for another 5 years now to be able to pay for the damage.

          What? £10 a week to give the joy of music to an entire family is too expensive? And you call yourself a contractor

            I meant I'd have to replace the bloody violin every week.

              Plan B - invent a disposable but playable Violin...
