The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the sound of the recorder. At 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 variability of the available sound spectra of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument 132BU-FEH of FEHR has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is very complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
