Recorder, say, with order to capture popular street spirit (4,10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wind instrument

'recorder say with' is the definition.
(I know that fipple pipe is a type of pipe)

'order to capture popular street spirit' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'capture' could be 'win' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'win' is located in the answer.
'popular' could be 'in' ('in' can mean trendy) and 'in' is found in the answer.
'street' could be 'st' (abbreviation) and 'st' is located in the answer.
'spirit' could be 'rum' (alcoholic spirit) and 'rum' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dent' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
