SORRY I KNOW YOU WERE JOKING but recorders can sound lovely! It's really easy to overblow a descant, and so that's what most 5 year olds are going to do. But adults with better breath control turn it into a bright, sweet-sounding instrument. Especially if it's made of wood and not plastic, as it would be in XIV (plastic ones can sound quite sharp, which doesn't help with the shrill tone of an overblown descant). If an amateur like me can make their plastic descant sound good, I'm sure a character who was a professional bard would be able to work wonders with a wooden one.

In fact I believe, due to the similarity in sound from my recorder covers to the originals, large portions of the FF:CC soundtrack have the recorder as the leading instrument -

What musical instruments exist in Eorzea?
