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 of one of the most important elements of the sound of the recorder. 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 musical expressiveness of the instrument.

The windway of the recorder 243PF-FEH of FEHR has this windway shape: Straight, conical.
Conical shaped windways accelerate the air leaf more than cylindrical windways.
Never underestimate windway and labium! Their meaning for the sound is very complex in their design. Damages here often lead to a total loss!
