The Wind Tunnel of a Recorder

The wind tunnel is the area in the head of the recorder in which the blowing air of the musician is formed into a thin air sheet. This air leaf is the central starting point of the sound production of the instrument. In interaction with the labium, the oscillation that causes the flute tone is generated from the air leaf. The shape of the wind tunnel is thus extremely relevant for the response and the sound of the instrument.

Wind tunnels are of course very complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
