The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of tone production. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow stimulates the air in the body of the instrument. 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 variability of musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 489-AS-PBK of Paetzold by Kunath has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the instrument is exceedingly complex in their design. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
