Easy to apply and lasts a long time. I’d change the name to “World’s Best” but maybe that would be bragging (but true!). Also no smell at all which is a good thing!
Always good product with fast delivery
Definitely greasier than the normal waxy cork grease.
The best. I wish you offered this in a larger size to keep at home to use on all my reed instruments instead of taking out the smaller portable container from my cases. I’d like to keep the small cork grease in my instrument case and only use the small when I’m away from home working/playing.
Had I just bought this earlier, I could have saved myself a $50+ cork repair. Yes, this stuff is that much better than the tube of standard cheap grease. I didn't realize just how different a high-quality cork grease could be from a low-quality one.
I really like this cork grease, especially for my bass and contralto clarinets. Use it often!
This stuff is a game changer! I find it easy to apply, and no, my fingers don’t get very sloppy.
This is indeed slippery cork grease and I appreciate it’s being in a little tub instead of a chapstick-like tube. I can’t say whether the universe contains more slippery kinds of cork grease but this is the best one I’ve found. And, the price is right!
Excellent cork grease. Takes just a little, goes on smoothly, and it really is very slippery. Also, it doesn't clump or build up a residue on the cork, like some of the tube grease do. Definitely my favorite cork grease.
The cork grease is indeed effective, and I like the applicator tube. I also bought the small tub of it. It would be nice if I can refill the tube with that; I haven't investigated that yet.
What a great product…Not only is it the slickest but it Will a long time…
I've been playing the clarinet for over five decades. I so wish this stuff was around when I started. Joints go together so easily even with new tight-fitting corks. A tub should ship with every new clarinet. Thank you Michael and Katherine for making this available.
This is hands-down the best cork I have ever used. I have ordered a few tubs, and will continue to order more. I love how it sticks to the cork so it doesn’t dry out, and how the stickiness evaporates from the hands. I’m not going back to any other cork grease after this..
After having an upper joint rise and and then fall to a cement armory floor, while holding the lower joint and walking, I'm leary of too slippery a middle joint. That was in the 1960s. I do prefer it for the corks of the mouthpiece, top joint, and bottom of the lower joint.
FWIW, the tenon was capped. I still enjoy playing this pre-R13 36XXX..
It was great to see you again. All the best, A
This stuff really works! The joints remain easy to separate even if I leave the clarinet on the stand overnight (which I try not to do, but sometimes it happens). Also, it’s not greasy like most cork lubricants, and isn’t made from petroleum.
Works well, but I miss the lip balm-style applicator. If there was a way to apply it without getting it on my fingers, that would be awesome.
I recently purchased this "greasy" stuff and love it! I was unsatisfied with stick cork grease... too stiff and not slick at all. Also investing several thousand dollars on my new instrument, I didn't need a cork grease to contribute to the possible destruction of the joints.
I have an R13 Greenline and a Yamaha CSG and I’ve not had the best results with this cork grease. I play my clarinets just about every day and have experimented with using just enough grease, too much, and what feels like the perfect amount for about two months. Regardless of what I do, I find that the grease only lasts for about two or three days before my corks lose all the glide begin to squeak. I would assume this is because it is not petroleum based, but be warned that frequent application may be necessary.
That it is!
I've used the World's Slipperiest Cork Grease for a couple of weeks now (first time trying it). I have to say it lives up to its name, using very little to get good results. The only down side is that I'm finding I need to keep a separate cloth/rag in my case to wipe my fingers afterward so that I don't get it on my horn and keys. Works great!
This is truly the best cork grease I have ever used, but I hesitate to call it grease. It's neither greasy or sticky , it's lube for your clarinet. A little goes a long way trust me!! For those of you who have metal tenon caps you know that sometimes they can get a little stuck when you have them right up against the wood, however, when you put a little on the tenon it slides in and out and moves around with ease. It's absolutely hands down the only lube you want to use for your horn. Run, don't walk to get yourself some of this magic. Be careful though as the label warns you-it's slippery when wet.!!!
A little of this goes a long way, as they say. And it works. It’s wonderful. I’ll be back for more and won’t go back to regular cork grease (if I can help it).
Well named cork grease! Works very well, best of all the cork grease that I have tried over the years. Highly recommend.
This is the best cork grease I have used in more than 50 years. Now if you could somehow install a chip that would enable the “find my cork grease” app so I didn’t keep misplacing it…
A little goes a long way! Works great. If you must use more than necessary, keep a cloth handy to clean up your hands, your clarinet, your pants…
Indeed very slippery. Be ready to wipe off your finger after applying! I have a saxophone mouthpiece that fits rather tight and this product really makes moving it on the cork much easier. Of course I could sand down the cork a bit, but if you use multiple mouthpieces... This is a great product to have around.
This cork grease is so slippery that you won't need much to make your clarinet's joints slide easily. It leaves no greasy residue and seems to last forever. I am on only my second batch after a year's use.
GREAT cork grease is an understatement. I purchased several and shared with fellow bandmates. I/we shall be back for more.
Thank you.
the best lubricant for clarinet really!
When I first tried this cork grease it felt a little sticky on my fingertips. I wondered if that would be a problem. I smeared it onto my corks and the pieces slid on like a dream.
My corks even seem to have a new life to them. This is the best cork grease I’ve ever used and now I won’t use anything else for my beautiful instruments.
Thanks Mike ! 👍🏼
