Zuki, there is a lot of pleasure and satisfaction to be had in playing and mastering this instrument. On a personal level, I only like Hammond-type organs playing jazz/rock/gospel, but I imagine those that like clasical/theatre/pop organ have a similar fondness for this type of instrument. If, however, your wife is NOT an organ aficionado, then you're correct; it will drive her crazy a lot quicker than say a piano or arranger keyboard. But hey, wives come and go (ask Don), music is forever.

Hint: In case you're somewhat serious, if you're of the 'Hammond' persuasion, don't get a 'vintage' Hammond (unless you live close to a Hammond technician/repairman who's in good health and has good 'long-life' genes). Also, your next wife (yes, there will be another one if you get an organ) should be severely hearing-impaired. This also applies if you should decide to take up accordion (or bagpipes, or drums, or violin).

In conclusion, take the organ fund and use it to take your wife on a nice world cruise instead.
