Kudos for "The Doctor"

I recently found a 1972 Buffet Evette & Schaeffer clarinet in mint condition. It looked like it had been played for a month and then put away and forgotten. The only real problem it had was that the tennon corks were stiff from the old dried up cork grease. This made it difficult to assemble and no matter how much of my chapstick cork grease I used the joints would stick hard. I even bent a key taking it apart. I searched the clarinet bboard for what to do and ran across a lot of positive information on The Doctors products. So I got some Cork Life and Doctor Slick, followed the directions and just like that the problem was solved. Thirty seven year old dried up cork grease gone! The corks look and feel new and my beautiful "new" old horn assembles and disassembles much easier.
THANK YOU Omar!

That's great! I've heard of people using Ponds Cold Creme to clean/revitalize old and dirty tenon corks. Haven't tried it myself. I'm assuming the Doctor's products are more specialized and meant for the application.

Great to hear!
