Loo Kit Chong

Trumpeter
 

"I have been using Le freque since the previous generation of bands where only a silicon band was used to hold the two pieces together. Together with the yellow brass, red brass and silver plated versions, I have enjoyed using them on my various trumpets to find the best resonance & feedback. With the newest addition of the rose- gold plated soundbridge, I have rediscovered a brilliance in my Conn Vintage One Rose-Brass Bb trumpet. I highly recommend trying out the various materials available to find the best fit for the instrument & the player. Thank you lefreQue for such an amazing invention!"
