The windway of a 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 of one of the most important elements of the instruments tone. 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 sound and response of the instrument.

The windway of the model 8331-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 function is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
