The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the headpiece of the recorder where the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is of one of the most important elements of the sound production. At 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 tone. This is the reason why the labium must never be damaged. The same rule applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the artistic applicability of the instrument.

The windway of the model 2496C -MOLL of Mollenhauer has this windway shape: Curved, cylindrical.
Conical windways accelerate breathing air more than cylindrical shaped windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the voicing is uncommon complex in their geometric shape. Even minor damages here often lead to a total loss!
