The Wind Tunnel of a Recorder

The wind tunnel is the area in the instrument headpiece where the blow air is formed into a thin air blade. This air leaf is one of the most important elements of the sound of the instrument. At the labium, the oscillation that causes the flute tone is generated from this air leaf. The shape of the wind tunnel is thus highly influential for the musical design of the achievable sounds of the flute.

The model 28DBK-AS by Paetzold by Kunath has a wind tunnel that is straight and conical.
Conical wind tunnels accelerate the breathing air more strongly than cylindrical ones.
Wind tunnels are of course very complex in their geometric form and many parameters are influenced by each other.
