The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of tone production. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream 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 influenceability of the attainable sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the model 2321-MOE of Moeck has this windway shape: Curved, cylindrical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is complex in their design. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
