lefreQue Brass 33 mm

Sound Bridge for Better Tone and Intonation!

For an optimal tone, a wind instrument is ideally made from a single piece. For practical reasons, however (tuning, transport, technical constraints), the wind instruments we use today are built from different sections. lefreQue is a revolutionary sound bridge that acoustically connects the sections of your wind instrument and combines the advantages of both.
The result is an unparalleled improvement in your sound quality: purer overtones, precise tuning, clear response, smooth intervals, extended dynamics and improved projection.

Saxophonist and flutist Hans Kuijt originally invented the lefreQue for the saxophone because he was dissatisfied with the sound quality of even the best instruments. He concluded that all joints between the different parts of a wind instrument have a negative effect on sound quality and tuning. Cork is a material that absorbs sound. You can use it perfectly to make a mouthpiece airtight to the instrument, but it also has properties that interfere with the proper transmission of the optimal sound from the mouthpiece to the instrument. In fact, it even dampens the sound. lefreQue solves these problems.
Even wind instruments without a cork connection sound better with the lefreQue sound bridge, because acoustic discontinuities that occur at the joints of the individual components are minimized.

leFreque offers you

• Cleaner overtones
• Better intonation
• Easier response
• Easier note transitions
• Greater dynamics
• Full surround sound

The lefreQue sound bridge consists of two metal plates that connect the joints on the individual parts of an instrument. The metal plates are fixed with elastic bands available separately. No changes to the instrument itself are necessary.

In our wind department we always stock a wide range of lefreQue sound bridges and are of course happy to advise you.

No Modification to the Instrument Itself Necessary!
