The windway of the recorder

The windway is the area in the recorder head where the breath is formed into a sheet of air. This air leaf is the central starting point of the sound of the recorder. In interaction with 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. 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 musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.

The windway of the model 4117-MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, conical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
