The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis 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 sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 2641-MOE of Moeck has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the instrument is very complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
