The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of the instruments tone. 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. 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. Otherwise suffer the range of musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 4529-MOE of Moeck has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the voicing is complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
