The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of the recorders sound. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the body of the instrument. This is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical expressiveness of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument 202A-AUL of Aulos has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
