The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the instruments tone. 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. And 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 sound and response of the recorder.

The windway of the model 4411-MAR of Küng has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is very complex in their design. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
