The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of the recorders sound. 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 applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the response and sound of the instrument.
