The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the recorders sound. 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 rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the response and sound of the recorder.
