100% Natural Cork Grease for saxophones, clarinets and other woodwinds with natural or synthetic cork. Made from all-natural ingredients, real beeswax and sunflower oil, and hand-poured in small batches at GARDENS OF THE ANCIENTS® in Manchaca, Texas. Choose unscented, peppermint or lavender. Two 0.3 oz jars per order: one for your case and one for home or the band room.

Cork joints and tenons dry out, stiffen and wear with regular playing. A little cork grease keeps natural cork soft and supple and keeps synthetic cork gliding smoothly, so the joints slide together easily, seal snugly and come apart without twisting or straining the keys.

100% natural, all-natural ingredients: real beeswax and sunflower oil. No petroleum jelly, no synthetic fillers, no artificial fragrance.
Works on natural and synthetic cork.
For saxophone and other woodwinds: soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone neck corks; clarinet and bass clarinet tenons; oboe and English horn; bassoon bocals; flute and piccolo head joints; and recorder joints.
Three choices: unscented, or lightly scented with pure peppermint or lavender essential oil.
Smooth and easy to spread: a soft, waxy balm that goes on clean and wipes off easily.
For students and professionals: handy to keep in every case.
Small batch, made in Texas: hand-poured and labeled by our family.

How to use: Rub a small amount onto the cork with a fingertip, assemble the joint with a gentle twist, then wipe off any excess. Reapply whenever a joint feels stiff or dry. A new or dry cork may need a little more the first few times.

Ingredients: Unscented: beeswax, sunflower oil. Peppermint: beeswax, sunflower oil, peppermint essential oil. Lavender: beeswax, sunflower oil, lavender essential oil.

Contents: 2 jars, 0.3 oz each.

Store in a cool place away from heat; it may soften in a hot car. Keep out of reach of small children. Not for internal use.
