The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder 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. And 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 influenceability of the attainable sounds of the recorder.
