The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element 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 tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of the available sound spectra of the instrument.
