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 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 not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the model 4008-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, conical, width adjustable. Wind tunnel plate replaceable..
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is uncommon complex in their geometric shaping. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
