The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder where the breath is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the sound production. At the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the bore. And this is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the range of artistic applicability of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 4108-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the sound is very complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
