The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of the sound production. At the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream 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 applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the model T 6144 P-DOL of Dolmetsch has this windway shape: Straight cylindrical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
