I'm not sure what it is about playing the recorder that has a tendency to send me to that extremely dissatisfied with myself place.
I think for me it's partly (there are other things too!) about never getting it right. I can play a (non-trivial) piece through and get it almost right, just a small blunder at, say, bar 27. I try again, bar 27 goes by without a hitch, but I mess up bar 42. I do a bit of serious loin-girding, start, and make a complete mess of bar 3. I play the piece where I almost always fluff variation 6, concentrate really hard, get it right, and completely go to pieces in the much easier variation 7. And so it goes on.
I also get really frustrated with my level of brain-over-finger control. I slide from B to C but accidentally lift an extra finger off and find I have gone from B to D. I try again, same result. Sometimes I'm amazed I can walk and breathe (I don't chew gum) at the same time!
