The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point 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 body of the instrument. And this is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway.
