The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the instrument headpiece where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the nucleus of the recorders sound. In interaction with the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow stimulates the air in the bore. This is the origin of the recorder tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of musical expressiveness of the recorder.

The windway of the model B11-COO of Coolsma has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
