The windway is the area in the recorder head where the breath is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the instruments tone. At 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. And this is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway.
