The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the instruments tone. 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 range of artistic applicability of the instrument.

The windway of the instrument A9-COO of Coolsma has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is uncommon complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
