Petroleum Jelly works well as a substitute, however you have to be careful not to get it anywhere else on your instrument. Chap stick and lotion work well too.

Where does corck grease go on a trumpet?

Cork grease is not needed on a trumpet, as there is no cork to grease!


Where do you apply cork grease on your french horn?

the French Horn is a brass instrument. When you put in together you simply put the mouthpiece in the neck and your done. Cork grease is used for wind instruments like the clarinet. when you put together a clarinet you put the mouthpiece into the neck, but the mouth piece is lined with cork so u also apply cork grease (hence the name, "cork" grease). But seeing as the French Horn has no cork you do NOT need cork grease.


How do you get your mothpiece out of the body of a alto sax if it is stuck?

Be careful because you don't want to break it but take some cork grease and coat the cork showing with lots of cork grease. Then carefully and slowly push the mouthpiece even further onto the cork and neck piece but NOT TOO MUCH!! If you have put enough cork grease on then you should be able to spin the mouthpiece around a few times and pull the mouthpiece off the cork and neck piece with maybe a little bit of trouble but it should work. I do this all the time and once you get the mouthpiece off, cover the cork with cork grease and if possible replace the cork with a new one and make sure to put cork grease on it regularly to prevent this from happening again.

How do you use cork grease?

Cork grease is a substance that "greases" the corks on any woodwind instrument. This makes it much easier to put together. If corks do not get greased enough, they will tear and fall off. If cork grease is not available Vaseline can be used but must be wiped off before storing your instrument. Vaseline penetrates cork, occasionally loosening the glue. Therefore adding small amounts of hard waxes such as carnuba , beeswax etc., over very gentle heat, can make wonderful cork grease with custom tailored consistency.


Can cork grease be used on brass instruments?
