A device that captures and saves sound, video, or data; also a simple wind instrument with a whistle-like mouthpiece that's popular in schools.
From Latin 'recordari' (to remember or call to mind), via Old French. The device meaning emerged in the 19th century with sound technology, while the musical instrument dates back to medieval times.
The recorder is one of the few instruments where millions of children worldwide learn the exact same songs—'Hot Cross Buns' has probably been played by more young musicians than any other tune in history.
