The windway of a 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 sound of the recorder. At 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 never be damaged. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical expressiveness of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument 2301-MOE of Moeck has this windway shape: Curved, cylindrical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the instrument is exceedingly complex in their geometric shaping. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
