Answer the Quiz



In the current number of barb Freites have a second current, as this bit of the photo. You know the name of the current and the function?

Answer - This second current is commonly called the false barb, or technically of gamarrilha. The merge function is to eliminate the effect of the joints of the stems with the mouthpiece. Without the brake the articulation becomes more severe, because the more dramatic look, besides the pressure of the mouthpiece on bars, commissures lip, palate and tongue, the maxillary region also receives a strong stride.
