This material produces in the instrument a unique sound, by the own special qualities.

The bore

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of the recorders sound. 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 never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the influenceability of the available sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 4119-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is very complex in their geometric shaping. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
