There is something about surprising interfaces: clapping to switch on lights is more fun than a flipping a switch. Double-click with pizzicato

Well...pizzicato is for the string section. Maybe overblowing!

That's not a flute, that's a implement that every small child in the West gets to torture their parents with as they grow up... otherwise known as a... recorder!😱

That was my reaction as well, but it seems a recorder is actually a type of flute:
Quote: The recorder is a family of woodwind musical instruments in the group known as internal duct flutes: flutes with a whistle mouthpiece, also known as fipple flutes.

If you have never heard 25 third-graders playing their recorders together, you are lacking the background to understand the comment by GuyThiebaut about the recorder being an implement to torture the listener.
Hint: The exact pitch is very dependent on how you blow it; you can pull it up and down by at least a quarter-step by blowing differently. Don't expect those 25 recorders to be tuned to each other initially, but that really makes no difference anyway when third-graders are blowing them. Played by professional musicians, the recorder is a beautiful instrument. As the first instrument, made mandatory for all grade school kids to learn in Norwegian schools in my childhood, it is the worst possible choice. Even worse than then violin as a first instrument - violin starters can at least play four notes in tune, on open strings.
