The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the breath is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus 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. This is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the influenceability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the model 1119B-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is complex in their geometric shaping. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
