The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis 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 body of the instrument. This is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of the available sound spectra of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument DA415FB-TAK of Takeyama has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the instrument is very complex in their geometric shaping. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
