The material produces in this instrument a strikingly pleasant singularity, by the own extraordinary sound.

Therefore the sound of recorders is perceived and described by each person inthe details slightly uniquely. We say: ABS-plastic (Acrylnitril-butadien-styrol): Clear sound, rich in overtones. Sometimes a bit crisper with smaller instruments

The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the sound production. 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 applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the recorder.

The windway of the instrument 309A-AUL of Aulos has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the function is very complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
