The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of tone production. 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 sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the range of musical expressiveness of the instrument.
