Yes the recorder is a musical instrument. Historically it is made out of wood. There are plastic versions as well. In either wood or plastic there are good models and there are terrible models. The name "recorder" is also used for any apparatus that is used to record a record of sound, activity, energy, etc... and some of these are the tape recorder, the voice recorder, or even earth quake movement recorder.

∙ 15y agoThink about the Flute. The flute is a woodwind instrument. Sound is produced by blowing through a hollow cylinder, and pitch is changed by covering up holes, which allow air to escape the cylinder. The more holes that are covered up, the less the amount of air excaping becomes, allowing for a higher pitch. The recorder works in the exact same way.
