The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the recorders sound. At the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow stimulates the air in the bore. 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 applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the sound and response of the instrument.

The windway of the model 2406K-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Straight cylindrical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the voicing is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
