The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the sound of the recorder. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow 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 not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the range of artistic applicability of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 3300-MOE of Moeck has this windway shape: Curved, cylindrical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
