The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of tone production. At the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the body of the instrument. 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 rule applies to the windway.
