The windway of the 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 of one of the most important elements of the sound 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. And this is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the response and sound of the instrument.

The windway of the instrument 343PA-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 voicing is very complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
