I still play the recorder! Just for fun, because TBH my musical ear isn't the best. I have a soprano/descant and an alto/treble recorder, both Yamaha. My soprano recorder--she of the Great Earwig incident of 2010--is almost 30 years old. I have small hands so I find playing the alto recorder is a stretch.

We started recorders in Grade 3, IIRC, and played until Grade 6 (so, 8-12 years old). Every year our recorder classes would enter the local music festival. We started band studies proper in Grade 7, so I took clarinet because it was closest to the recorder.

Thanks to the Doctor Who MIDI file archive I've worked out a few pieces that seem to play well on both recorders. I should maybe list them sometime.
