The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the recorders sound. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the bore. And this is the origin of the recorder sound. 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 model 855-HUB of Huber has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
