The bore

The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is light cylindroconical. This kind of bore shape gives this model its characteristic sound.
In principle, models with wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and thus more suitable for ensembles than recorders with narrower inner bore.

To whom is this instrument addressed?

The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the instruments tone. 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. 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 variability of the available sound spectra of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 2300-MOE of Moeck has this windway shape: Curved, cylindrical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
