TIL that German „Blockflöte“ (literal translation „woodblock flute“) is recorder in English. A noun I normally connect to cassette recorder or record something.
It was a mandatory instrument on the Rudolf Steiner school I attended back in the day. 20 kids blowing that thing horribly. My music teacher was actually a conductor of the North Holland Philharmonic Orchestra. Must have been torture for him.

Thanks. This also confused me.
And here, I’m gonna break your mind: a cassette player isn’t a person playing the cassette. How sick is that eh? 🙂
