The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the breath is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the determining element of the sound of the recorder. At the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the bore. 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 variability of musical expressiveness of the instrument.
