cork grease
Product information "cork grease"
Cork grease is used on recorders to lubricate the connection between the individual parts of the recorder (the so-called tenon joints).
Here are some reasons why cork grease is important:
- Making it easier to put together and take apart
Cork grease ensures that the individual parts of the recorder can be put together and taken apart more easily. This prevents the joints from being damaged or worn. - Protection against moisture and wood sources
Especially with wooden flutes, moisture can cause the wood to swell and make the joints more difficult to handle. The grease acts as a barrier against moisture and protects the wood. - Prevent cracks and breakages
If the tenon joints are too dry, this can lead to cracks or breakages occurring when they are put together or taken apart. Regular greasing prevents such damage. - Longer life of the recorder
Overall, the use of cork grease contributes to the care and maintenance of the recorder, which extends its life and maintains its playability. - Maintaining the tightness of the joints
Well-lubricated joints ensure that the parts fit together tightly and that no air escapes, which is important for the sound and intonation of the recorder.
Regular maintenance of the tenon joints with special cork grease is therefore essential to keep the recorder in good condition and maintain its functionality.
Using the cork grease
Apply a thin layer of grease to the cork whenever it is difficult to put the recorder parts together or the cork makes "cracking" noises.
