The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of tone production. In interaction with the labium, the air flow is very quickly alternately directed inwards and outwards. This swinging stream stimulates the air in the bore. And this is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the influenceability of the possible sounds of the recorder.

The windway of the model F1901-KUE of Küng has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical windways.
Never violate windway and labium! Their meaning for the instrument is very complex in their design. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
