The recorders used in schools are an idea from Carl Orff, with the idea that it
is inexpensive. Therefore, one made a modern recorder tuning that should be
simpler, but without the capacity of the Baroque tuning. But, as it turn out,
it is a bad instrument to start playing when little, because the fingers
motoric is not fully developed. So that got the recorder a bad reputation
instead.

Give thanks to Carl Orff for that.
