The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of the sound production. At the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the bore. This is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of musical expressiveness of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument A9G-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 voicing is very complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
