Sound Bridge for Better Tone and Intonation!

For optimal sound, a wind instrument ideally consists of one piece. For practical reasons (tuning, transport, technical constraints), wind instruments—as we use them today—are made up of several 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 unmatched improvement in your sound quality: pure overtones, precise tuning, clear response, smooth intervals, extended dynamics, and enhanced projection.

Saxophonist and flutist Hans Kuijt originally invented lefreQue for the saxophone because he was dissatisfied with the sound quality even of the best instruments. He concluded that all connections between the different parts of a wind instrument negatively affect sound quality and tuning.

Cork is a material that absorbs sound. You can use it perfectly to seal a mouthpiece airtight to the instrument, but at the same time, it has properties that hinder the proper transmission of optimal sound from the mouthpiece to the instrument. In fact, it even dampens the sound. lefreQue solves these problems.

Even wind instruments without cork joints sound better with the lefreQue sound bridge because sound breaks, as they occur at the connection points of the individual parts, are minimized.

leFreque offers you

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

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

In our wind instrument department, we constantly stock a large range of lefreQue sound bridges and are, of course, happy to advise you.

No Modifications to the Instrument Itself Needed!
