Turn nutriments around for recorder, say (4,10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wind instrument

'for recorder say' is the definition.
(recorder is a type of wind instrument)

'turn nutriments around' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'wind' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nutriments' with letters rearranged gives 'instrument'.
'wind'+'instrument'='WIND INSTRUMENT'

(Other definitions for wind instrument that I've seen before include "Bit of brass" , "Serpent for instance" , "flute, perhaps" , "thing to have in orchestra" , "tool used by meteorologist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
