I was always pretty bad at recorder - I could never quite keep up in music class then, I didn't start getting my stuff together musically until a few years later. I remember a brief experience with tenor sax in 7th or 8th grade that I really enjoyed, but you're right about the breath - reeds do take some bellows for lungs.
