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 sound production. 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 response and sound of the recorder.

The windway of the recorder 4317-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
