Recorders are underrated (although, the ukulele is IMO the most underrated instrument, probably because they’re easy.)

I have a slightly more expensive Yamaha soprano recorder that I absolutely love. My living room is all hardwood and I keep most furniture and anything soft out of it just so I can enjoy the sound.

Ukuleles have a bad reputation because many of them are collecting dust in someone's studio apartment. It's the quintessential "I want to learn an instrument but not really" purchase.

I've played recorder (soprano) in a baroque ensemble - the instrument is beautiful in the right context. For playing alone, I enjoy my wood tenor recorder.

Not for someone like me with no musical background :)
