The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the sound 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. 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 musical shaping ability of the instrument.

The windway of the instrument 459-AS-PBK of Paetzold by Kunath has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
