The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the breath of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the instruments tone. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream 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 influenceability of the possible sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the model TS415M-TAK of Takeyama has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is complex in their geometric shaping. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
