The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the sound 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. This is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the sound and response of the recorder.

The windway of the model 2322-MOE of Moeck has this windway shape: Curved, cylindrical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the sound is uncommon complex in their geometric shaping. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
