The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of tone production. At the labium, the air stream is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging flow stimulates the air in the bore. And this is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the variability of musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the model A 8134 P-DOL of Dolmetsch has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the recorder is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
