At the labium, the vibration that generates the flute sound is created from this air blade. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely important
for the musical formability of the instrument's achievable sounds. The windway of the 211A-AUL instrument from Aulos is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are naturally very complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other.

€329.00*
The instrument with the article number: YRT-304COKN-YAM built by Yamaha is an instrument that gives lasting pleasure in daily use.
This characteristic is largely due to the carefully considered marriage of the outstanding model in combination with the expressive possibilities of the plastic material used.
This material impresses with the instrument's unique advantages. The special features can be characterised as follows: .
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the recorder is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale.
What music is the recorder best suited to?
Plastic is predestined for recorders that are mainly used for choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.
Who the instrument is aimed at
It follows from this that plastic instruments are particularly suitable for beginners. Another rule to bear in mind is that a higher quality instrument generally makes learning more enjoyable than a simple one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the musician's breath is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the instrument's sound.
In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the fundamental vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining principles
for the recorder's ability to create music. The windway of the Yamaha YRT-304COKN-YAM model is shaped as follows: curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrical ones. Windways are complex in their geometric shape and many parameters influence each other.
