To what family of musical instruments does a recorder belong?
Correct answer: Woodwinds
Clothilde
My sister was a music teacher and grew to despise the recorder. She says there’s no sound on Earth more hellish than an entire class of small children blowing into their recorders as hard as possible so that they make that horrible high-pitched screeching sound. I believe her!

I grew up in Hawaii and was spared learning the recorder. We were taught to play the Ukulele! ❤️

use to play the clarinet one of the hardest woodwinds to play; it also strengthens your lungs.

Clothilde, I am sure a class of beginning violin students could sound equally intolerable

Such a lovely sound. Enjoyed playing my flutophone growing up& Renaisance music is awesome.

danielsoma100305, crossing the break is difficult, but other woodwinds are more difficult to play. Flute uses the most air; oboe has a tremendous amount of back pressure; Bassoon has the least intuitive fingerings; saxophone is easier to make a sound on, but very hard to actually sound good. Recorders and ocarinas are comparably the easiest woodwind to play.

I thought it was in the O.T. David had one of his musicians write the music to be played accompaniement to the Psalms. It's changed over the years, but weren't they one played way back then?

danielsoma100305, Started with clarinet in 6th grade. Our band director had too many playing clarinet, so got me to switch to bassoon. Now talk about hard to play.

wabe, most of the recorders you can buy off the shelf are soprano recorders. Could it be your uncle plays either the tenor or bass recorder? Both are much larger than the soprano or even the alto recorder.

OriginalSlyguy, Recorders are incredibly easy to play if you remember one thing: gently blow.

Ahhhh the good ol' days of primary school

Jimi Hendrix played a recorder at the end of one of his songs. It was recorded super loud and made such a strident sound. Wow

Ariesman , Impressive! That had to sound better than when I learned to play in 4th grade 😆

Clothilde, I had the distinct misfortune of being taught to play the recorder when growing up. How the teacher maintained his sanity is beyond my comprehension. It is worse than everything in the world. Even worse than small children with a violin. I feel for your sister 😅

King of Asgard, I believe recorder is a misspelling. It is spelt 'Wreck Order'
