Choice of materials

Rule of thumb: For optimal performance use at least a quality lefreQue that equals the material of your instrument or a better quality. Being musicians ourselves, we understand that 'sound' is something very personal. That's why we offer a wide range of materials with different tonal qualities.

Enjoy your lefreQue!

To help you find the best match with your personal preferences, we hand you some material characteristics for guidance:

Brass

Clear sound, a lot of 'core' in the tone and fast response.

Red Brass

Round sound, a lot of 'core' in the tone and fast response.

Red Brass/Silver plated

Round sound, a lot of 'core' in the tone and fast response. The silver plating will give the upper harmonics more brilliance.

Red Brass/Gold plated

Round sound, a lot of 'core' in the tone and fast response. The gold plating will give the upper harmonics more depth and warmth.

Solid Silver

Pure, warm sound abounding with overtones, more mass, speed, brilliance and increased flexibility in dynamics.

Solid Silver/Gold plated

All of the solid silver. More warmth and fluid tone production in the higher frequencies.

Solid Gold

Unequaled purity. Warm and fluid tone production in the whole range of frequencies. Incredible overtones.
