The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point 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 body of the instrument. And this is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same applies to the windway.
