The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air is formed into a 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 not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the model 469DB-AS-PBK of Paetzold by Kunath has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
