The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the instruments tone. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow stimulates the air in the bore. 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 artistic applicability of the instrument.

The windway of the model 102N-AUL of Aulos has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
