The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of tone production. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the bore. This is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the artistic applicability of the recorder.

The windway of the recorder DA415BB-TAK of Takeyama has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the voicing is very complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
