Recorder – brings to mind a humorous story from college. Everyone was required to take Fine Arts 101, which was a combination of art history and the basics of music. It was a class of 250 – 300, in the lecture hall.
One day the orchestra director, Dr. Osborn, asked the string quartet to play for one of the class sessions, demonstrating each instrument. (I was the cellist). After we had played for them and demonstrated our instruments, Dr. Osborn talked to them about wind instruments requiring an embouchure. Then he picked up his recorder (he was quite a proficient player) and told them that the recorder does not require an embouchure, stuck it to his nostrils, and played.
Still on stage, we in the string quartet bowed our heads in embarrassment! Now, of course, it is funny.
