The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the sound of the recorder. 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 not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the recorder.

The windway of the model 26-AS-PBK of Paetzold by Kunath has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
