Ep 073 - Lefreque (Hans Kuijt); how the LefreQue works and helps someone’s tone

Donna Schwartz, from the Everything Saxophone Podcast, interviewed Hans Kuijt from LefreQue at the NAMM Show 2020!
LefreQue is a woodwind and brass accessory that acts like a soundbridge, allowing the energy to travel unimpeded from the reed/mouthpiece through the instrument.
Watch the video for a detailed explanation from Hans, and a demonstration from saxophonist, Rajiv Halim.

    I'm sure a difference could be measured if the saxophonist is blindfolded and is instructed to play a chromatic scale, etude etc. 10 times, while the LefeQue device is changed in an out randomely, while having a sound tech evaluate the result. Or, better yet, buy it, try it, and if it doesn't work, return it or make a very expensive fishing lure out of it! :) Good episode, Donna, got me curious on this one!

    That would certainly be a randomized test! What's interesting with the LefreQue is that you feel the difference - it's less resistance that's going on. Watch my episodes with Steven Banks to see what I mean...

    I'd need to spend a month shedding with it, then switch back to 'normal' in order to tell if there's a diff.

    It does - many classical and jazz musicians have been using the for years. I didn't believe it either until I tried it out and until my friends did so as well. I had many people coming over to my booth telling me to check them out.
