The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder where the blowing air is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element 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 bore. This is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the influenceability of the possible sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the model 4107-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 function is very complex in their geometric shape. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
