The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the instruments tone. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the body of the instrument. 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 recorder.

The windway of the instrument S 6124 P-DOL of Dolmetsch has this windway shape: Straight cylindrical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
