Recorder

From all instruments i know, this one is my favorite because it has really nice sounds and saved me from a hunger during whole month at this summer ^_^_^

Some info from Wikipedia:

The recorder is a woodwind musical instrument of the family known as fipple flutes or internal duct flutes. It is distinguished from other members of the family by having holes for seven fingers and one for the thumb of the uppermost hand.

The recorder was popular in medieval times through the baroque era, but declined in the 18th century in favour of orchestral woodwind instruments, such as the flute, oboe, and clarinet.

The recorder was revived in the 20th century, partly in the pursuit of historically informed performance of early music, but also because of its suitability as a simple instrument for teaching music and its appeal to amateur players. Today, it is often thought of as a child's instrument, but there are many professional players who demonstrate the instrument's full solo range.

The sound of the recorder is remarkably clear and sweet, partly because of the lack of upper harmonics and predominance of odd harmonics in the sound.
