Product Information

Keeping the corks healthy is a vital part of maintaining your instrument, reducing stresses on delicate exterior feather keys when assembling and also keeping it completely air tight.

We have tried many brands but can confidently sell what we have listed here as being quality, value-for-money brands. If your instrument joints are becoming more difficult to assemble, use a lint-free cloth or rag to carefully remove all previous grease and residue from both socket and tenon before applying fresh grease.
