The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of the recorders sound. At the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream 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 applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the influenceability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the model TS415E-TAK of Takeyama has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is exceedingly complex in their geometric shaping. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
