The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the sound of the recorder. 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. 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 range of musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder S 8124 P-DOL of Dolmetsch 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 voicing is complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
