The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece 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 flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the body of the instrument. And 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 musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.
