 Re: When to use cork grease

I think that "Only as needed and well rubbed into the cork." is the quick answer to the topic question.

I suspect that a lot of people get off on the wrong foot with cork grease because they buy their new instrument and are told " Use plenty of cork grease!". But "plenty" should not be interpreted as a reference to how much grease you should apply to the cork, so much as a reference to how often you will have to do it.
After an adaptation period as the new cork achieves its long term compression-set fit, the frequency of needing to apply cork grease drops considerably. If it doesn't then the cork will need a little sanding down.

As for how to assemble/disassemble the instrument, I think that the best method is PAYING ATTENTION .It doesn't even involve a bank transfer...unlike NOT paying attention which very well might.
