Me.

My sister showed up at one Christmas with an Ocarina app on her phone. It was really cool; I'd never played Zelda nor understood the relationship, so I thought it was a real instrument and spent some time in a Zelda rabbit hole.

Still haven't played the game, and I still wish there was a real instrument that sounds as cool as that app. The real difference between that and a recorder is the reverb; a real ocarina would have to have some difference sound-making mechanism than a whistle; there'd have to be some vibrating component, like in a harmonica.

so I thought it was a real instrument

..... It is a real instrument. Like over 5,000 years old.
