The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the recorders sound. At 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. And this is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of musical expressiveness of the recorder.

The windway of the recorder A9BU-COO of Coolsma has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
