For me on my low brass instruments it is not only the changes in sound that I notice that I like, but it is also how it changes the way playing feels. It makes playing so much easier so I can concentrate on what I am doing more and trying to sound good less. It also REALLY helps my endurance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Thank you for this review! I had heard of these and seen some other videos where I couldn't really tell the difference with and without. But with your review, the evidence was clear. So much so that I trundled off to Long and McQuade and tried some out for myself and came home with the silver plated red brass one. I honestly love it. It gives me a warmer tone but also makes the high register almost effortless. Thank you again for pointing me (and the other viewers) in this direction. Like you said, these are much cheaper than a new headjoint! Marie

Lol because I’m cheap and broke but wanted to improve my sound, I took the smooshed down pennies you get from the machines, and put it in the same places as the Le Freque. I’ve also used quarters, but they don’t work as well. With the penny, I used to only place it on the bridge between the headjoint and body. With the Quarters, I would put them on the bridge between the head and body, and the top of the headjoint. I also put it on the footjoint for a while, but I noticed it didn’t let my sound resonate. So if you’re in a budget, try what I said above. I used to do this everyday, but I couldn’t be bothered to keep track of quarters, and I didn’t want to lose those pennies lol. It also can scratch your flute, but I manage to do that no matter what. (I got the idea from a forum and they were joking about doing this, I just took it literal for fun lol).

Got my lefreQue yesterday and I can already say it is one of the best investments I have ever done. I have a professional flute that requires a lot of attention to work well for me. In my country art-music is on the border of extinction so it is more or less impossible to live as a musician. So my days are spent mostly on a grumpy authority as an official and I get maybe one or two hours to play when I get home (in case I am not completely exhausted from fighting the demons of bureaucracy). The part of practice that always gets less attention is sonority and flexibility in embouchure. I bought the same lefreQue that is shown in this video, the red brass and it has made my playing so much easier just after one day. My sound is more rounded and warmer an for some reason my articulation is way more clear. I notice it is easier to jump from high to low and middle register is also easier to play forte (c2-a2 my "Achilles heel"). The flute response at once when I blow air in to it and you can play piano pianissimo with no effort at all all over the octaves and still keep a good tuning without bending or pressing your lips not get too low or too high depending on what register you play in. Maybe some of you think a lefreQue is cheating and yes maybe it is but for me it has made my music life so much better and ignite a new flame of interest in practicing. A lot of BANG for very few bucks.

This is fascinating! As a brand new player (less than a month, at age 49!), I'm on a very cheap beginner flute, because I wanted to start right away instead of waiting till I saved up for The Right Beginner Instrument. But in a year or two, I know I'm going to want to step up to a bit more flute, and I've already got my eyes on several; but this one video just changed my entire mindset about what I want. I'm definitely going to get the best flute I can afford, but now I know I don't need to aim for a gold or aurumite or whatever. I can aim for the best silver flute I want, and then when I reach the point at which I want 'more flute' again, if I get there, maybe I can just LeFreque it up instead of get a whole new flute or new head joint. I love your reviews, always, but this one just altered the trajectory of where I'll go with this. Thank you so much!

@Jmpr01 5 жыл бұрын
Excellent video! The changes to your sound are immediately apparent. Shortly after I purchased my Powell 9k rose gold flute about 3 years ago, I decided to give these a try. I chose the Rose Gold Plated Sterling Silver 41mm and I'm very pleased with it. I don't use it regularly, but in performance situations where my already big sound needs to compete with a full brass ensemble, it certainly comes in handy. You're right, it does lock the player into a certain tone color, but it also lessens the fatigue in "it's me against the world" ensemble settings. Also, the high G and above become progressively harder to "float." I've tried these on my Pearl rose gold plated sterling flute (with a silver, custom hand cut Muramatsu head). I don't care for them on this flute. For me, the settings in which I'd use this flute don't benefit from a lefreQue. My biggest hurdle was the use of a "device" at all. Is it cheating? Am I getting lazy? Ultimately, I got over that challenge - it's not so very different to other instrumentalists using mutes. In the end, all that matters is if I'm producing the most appropriate sound for the piece.

No padding. That would defeat the purpose of the bridge and absorb the vibrations that it's supposed to be transferring between the head and body of the flute

You may have heard of the mathematician name Fourier, he made it clear mathematically that all sound is composed of a series of harmonics which are integer multiples of a fundamental. There is no place in the math to allow for harmonics to be out of tune with each other therefore anybody claiming that they can be has no idea of acoustics. Looking at the website I'm not sure exactly what he claims is the science behind this. I think it's fairly well established that the metal of a flute does not vibrate in any way because of it's rigidity compared to the air inside it therefore nothing on the outside of the instrument can possibly have any effect on the air within which is what is actually making the sound. I think that any perceived differences with it are either imaginary or can be put down to small inconsistencies in individual performances.

Very thorough and in-depth review. There was another 'lefreQue' that was made out of wood, but I don't hear or see very much about it anymore. Maybe you can test the metal ones against the wooden ones that, as I remember, was a whole lot less expensive than those metal ones. Interesting if all it would take is connecting the head joint to the body of the flute using some kind of bridge, would it have the same effect?

I just got my LefreQue today! I have been struggling with my Nagahara for a year now since I had a repadding done by someone here in my area (and I had a pulmonary embolism last year that affected my breathing, although my oxygen sat. number was normal). I took it back to him twice, but it was never right -- hard to play with focused sound and harmonics were a mess. Now I can play real music again! Harmonics are great with this, except the B flat one 3 up still sucks. I can play simple legato tunes again. Guess I am due for a COA. Thank you for posting this review. I'd been thinking of getting this for over a year. I bought the solid silver for my 950 silver Nagahara (gold riser). I am looking forward to trying it on my silver lightweight Haynes (1982 Deveau scale). BTW, this is the first youtube video of yours that I have watched (last week). I was searching for a video that shows how to put the LefreQue on the flute and found you.

Really interesting video and an intriguing piece of metal. I’m a saxophonist and we have our own equivalent gadgets that change the way the sax plays and sounds. Tiny pieces of metal that are supposed to work. A lot of the change experienced for myself is more to do with how it “feels” more so than how it “sounds”, but for sure there is a difference. Whether that difference is audible or perceptible from an audience’s pov is debatable BUT if it makes the musician feel a whole lot more comfortable/confident in playing then it’s worth a go for sure. It might be psychological, it might be tangible, but hey if it does something for you why not? :) At the end of the day, I wouldn’t care what instrument a musician is using as much as whether he or she can produce music that moves my soul :) If a lefreque can help you do that then it’s worth its weight in gold, and if it can’t then it can’t. That’s not a problem either :)

Hi! Wondering if removing your ergonomic accessories might interfere at all with the lefreque on your gold flute? I read that you should place it on the flute where there’s an unobstructed line towards the foot joint…e.g. no tone holes in the way. So wondered if the accessories could dampen it as well. I was using the thumb rests as well and I removed them but didn’t do a lot of comparing with or without. What do you think?

I've actually removed everything lately!

I play on a silver flute as well (gemeinhardt), and I went with the red brass one's. Defiantly helped mellow out the sound, but I can still get that brightness when I want to with it on.

Also, try a flute bagpipe attachment you can buy on EBay from AltoFlute2013. The cost is reasonable. I like the sound for Christmas music ..we three king's....and may other types of genres.

Hey! What are those thumb saddles on your flute?

That brannen just sounds good... damn... I’m an adult that’s playing flute again after a .very. Long . Time. .....I bought a Sonaré Powell a few years back when i started back playing . I didn’t get to play long. Had spinal surgery. Now I’m getting back to it again, again. 😂and I hate my flute. It’s so hard to play. I’m used to student flutes. I dunno if that is normal for an intermediate flute. 😢my flute is the Sonaré Powell 709. It’s solid silver with rose gold plating/ coating. It just sounds weak. I wonder which would help. I’m wondering about the red brass....give my sound more power.. I’m a weak player but my little gemeinhardt student flute just feels much better than my almost 6,000$ flute. 😭😭😭😭they don’t make the 709 anymore. And it’s freaking beautiful. I’m scared to sell it and regret it

Hey Joanna, it's been a while since I seen your vids. I just wanted to say I got a new flute, my very OWN first flute. Now, I wanted to ask: "How do you break in a new flute? Or like, get used to it? Edit: Also, you might probably wondering what flute is it. It's a Gemaindhardt 3BO, that I got from Fluteworld. It comes with a french case, open hole and B foot. (No E split uwu)

No One Shall Know My Name I would like to know this too i just got my new Sonare 501 yesterday and although it already feels better than my old gemeinhardt 3 i still have yet to break into it.
@ninoding 5 жыл бұрын
No One Shall Know My Name have you played a open hole before? If not, use all the plugs on the keys and gradually take them out one by one, good luck! The left ring finger and right ring finger are the hardest

It really takes a lot of practice! I broke my flute in but it took me like a month to get used to everything.

Even though I have been playing flute for some decades, I must not have flute ears because I do not hear any noticeable difference between any of them. Maybe with the flute 6 inches from your ear you can hear some minut difference but an audience will not, IMO, notice a difference. However, only the player can say if it makes it easier to hit a note that was more difficult before.

Hello, Lefreque is too soft, does it easily lose its shape? I read that pure silver is very soft. Is it worth buying 925 silver? Tell me do you have a problem with this? Thanks.

If you recorded this with a good microphone and did a spectrum analysis, you could actually see the difference, including which harmonics are being affected. Is it accenting all harmonics or just the odd or even harmonics? I was surprised that there is a difference, when the headjoint to the body has a metal to metal connection.

You can put the smallest size on the piccolo and it does work really well with wood. I have a grenadilla piccolo and I use the solid silver with rose gold plating, 33mm size. I love it.

You were playing with the recommended position wrong. The Lefreque should be placed on the side where the keys don't run along, but yours is in line with the keys.
