The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of tone production. At 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 tone. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the sound and response of the recorder.

The windway of the recorder YRA-27III-YAM of Yamaha 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 sound is complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
