QuantiForce Brass

Your Individual Lip Pressure Display

QuantiForce Brass mounted at the mouthpiece of a trumpet.

Learn easier

QuantiForce Brass supports you to develop your playing technique and to play and practice more efficiently. Learn how to use just the right force and improve your technique rapidly.

Play safer

Keep an eye on the force applied to the mouthpiece. An appropriate force can be beneficial for the health of your lips and body and can increase your playing endurance. Your lips and your whole body will benefit from an improved force awareness.

In class and at home

QuantiForce is the ideal companion for teachers to spot problems in class. At home, musicians can record their practice sessions and discuss them later with their teacher.

Get important insights

Protect your lips!

QuantiForce Brass is the ultimate tool to gather objective and individual insights in brass playing. Measure lip pressure at the mouthpiece with unprecedented precision and combine it with sound pressure level measurements that capture even your loudest tone. See all data in real time for an immediate feedback on your playing or record the data for comparison with other players or later analysis.

Raise your playing awareness with ease - at home, in class and even on stage!

Teaching and learning

A powerful tool for both

With QuantiForce Brass applying the appropriate force is made easy. Both teachers and students have a powerful tool at hand to see the actual lip force while playing, which was never that easy before. Several visualizations help to understand the force applied in different playing situations and in relation to loudness or played notes. And - to make it even more useful - visual alerts can be adjusted individually with your fingertips.

With this supportive tool inappropriate lip pressure is recognized immediately or even avoided in advance. Explore new and exciting ways of teaching and learning with QuantiForce Brass by Bonsai Systems!

Install within seconds

Fits virtually any brass instrument

The integrated clamp at the backside of QuantiForce Brass lets you quickly and easily mount the sensor onto your brass instrument. No matter if it is a trumpet, euphonium, tuba, French horn, or trombone. Feel free to ask for other brass instruments.

Immediate visual feedback

See the invisible forces

Connect QuantiForce Brass via Bluetooth to the free companion iOS app (Android Beta available on request) for immediate display of the measured data while you are playing. Gather helpful insights during play or record the data for offline analysis with your teacher.

What experts say

QuantiForce Brass was developed in collaboration with Prof. Matthias Bertsch from the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. Watch the videos for his comments on how QuantiForce Brass can help to play safer and to enhance learning (German, with English subtitles):

  1. Prof. Matthias Bertsch explains QuantiForce Brass

  2. How much force is necessary?

  3. How does QuantiForce enhance teaching and learning?

"The best thing that has ever been made to control how much pressure you put while playing."

Andrea Tofanelli,

International Trumpet Artist and Clinician

"I made big progress in range and really, really big progress in endurance."

Jakob, trumpet student,

after 10 months of using QuantiForce Brass


We gave QuantiForce Brass to Jakob who is studying trumpet. Since then, he is using QuantiForce Brass in his daily practicing. In the video he talks about his experience with QuantiForce Brass and how QuantiForce Brass has helped him to reach his learning goals.
