The windway of the recorder The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the musician's breath is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the nucleus of a recorder's sound production. At the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute sound is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore extremely influential for the musical expressiveness of the recorder. The 449DBK model from Paetzold by Kunath has a windway that is straight and conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric shape and many parameters are influenced by each other.
