The windway of the 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 nucleus of the sound 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. This is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the model CTG-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 voicing is uncommon complex in their geometric shaping. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
