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 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 tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the artistic applicability of the instrument.

Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is complex in their geometric shaping. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
