The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of the sound of the recorder. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow 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 rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the artistic applicability of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument 1411-KUE of Küng has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is exceedingly complex in their geometric shaping. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
