The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of tone production. In interaction with 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. 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 variability of musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the model 844-HUB of Huber has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
