The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the instruments tone. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow 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 rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the range of musical expressiveness of the recorder.

The windway of the recorder 469-PBK of Paetzold by Kunath has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is exceedingly complex in their geometric shape. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
