The windway of a recorder

The windway is the area in the head of the recorder where the blowing air is formed into a thin sheet of air. This air leaf is the basis of the recorders sound. 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. This is the origin of the recorder sound. This is the reason why the labium must not be damaged in any case. The same applies to the windway. Otherwise suffer the musical shaping ability of the attainable sounds of the instrument.

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