The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of the instruments tone. At 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 tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the range of artistic applicability of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument A5-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 complex in their geometric shaping. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
