Re: Corks coming loose

I use La Tromba cork grease and even put complimentary tubs of it in with instruments I work on to be sure people are using the cork grease I recommend instead of that dreadful lipstick-style stuff.

The only times I've had to replace the tenon 9or crook) corks I've done is when players leave instruments assembled or with saxes, leaving the mouthpiece on the crook so the cork has compressed and dried out. So there's no getting through with some people even when you give them explicit instructions about greasing the corks and not leaving things assembled.
