The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus 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. This is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the model T 8144 P-DOL of Dolmetsch has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
