The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of tone production. 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. And this is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the response and sound of the instrument.

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