The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the sound production. 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 never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the response and sound of the recorder.

The windway of the recorder 2601-KUE of Küng has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the sound is complex in their geometric shaping. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
