I am famous for being quite noisy, and have often gotten comments like, "I don't know how you stand it", but the truth is the noise is always controlled and always purposeful (OK, almost always...).

And especially if you have quiet, well-behaved students (like I'm guessing you were), those students often end up with the less enticing instruments simply because we know they won't complain as much... Sad but true. I'm working on a system to better track some of those main instruments that I want students to all have turns on, so hopefully that situation will improve next year...
