Logan Banister

classical and jazz saxophonist, composer, and educator

“My LefreQue Soundbridge allows me to find my most beautiful sound with much less effort. With my LefreQue, I have access to so much additional color and more abundant overtones. I am finding significantly greater control over my response and intonation, even in the saxophone’s most problematic registers. The LefreQue facilitates an even more effortless legato connection between notes. The product is simply fantastic!”
