Vandoren CG100B Clarinet Cork Grease

This cork grease does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It applies smoothly, helps the cork slide easily, and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. I’ve used it for a while now, and it keeps my clarinet joints moving freely without drying out the corks. The consistency is perfect—thick enough to coat evenly, but not so greasy that it attracts dirt or dust. It also has a neutral scent, which is a nice touch compared to some other brands that have a strong smell. A little goes a long way, so this tube lasts quite a while. Overall, it’s a reliable, high-quality cork grease that makes assembling and adjusting your clarinet effortless. I would definitely recommend it to any clarinet player, whether beginner or advanced.

Let’s just say my saxophone and I were having a bit of a friction problem. Every time I tried to slide that mouthpiece on, it was like trying to fit into skinny jeans after Thanksgiving dinner—awkward and painful. Enter cork grease, my savior in a tiny tube. 💦 Now? That mouthpiece slides on so smooth, it's practically flirting with me. One dab of this magic grease and my sax is slipping and sliding like it’s ready for a hot date. No more awkward sticking, no more embarrassing squeaks—just pure, sexy saxophone action. 🎷 And the best part? It’s got this subtle, tantalizing scent that makes you want to use it. I’m not saying I almost mistook it for lip balm, but I’m also not saying it didn’t cross my mind. 😏 If your saxophone needs a little extra love and care, cork grease is the way to go. Your sax will thank you later…trust me. 😉"

Best price I could find on Amazon. I've used it on my piccolo and a little goes a longggg way with cork that thin. This will last me a loooong time

I have been seriously sleeping on the quality of Vandoren products. I just recently picked up the clarinet again after almost 20 years since I last played. When I originally played the clarinet in jr. high, I always used Rico products since that was what was cheap and available. But after seeing the quality of this cork grease by Vandoren, I might just give their reeds a try next. The cork grease works better than what I remember from Rico and does not have that greasy residue that I have experienced in the past. As a bonus, the scent, while subtle, is actually tolerable.

This is pretty good grease, but like all cork grease it has a range of temperatures where it is good, and outside that range it is just plain stupid. Also, this is lightly scented so it doesn't have that typical grease odor. I think it's sort of cherry scented but it's very light so it's hard to really pinpoint it. It's a typical chapstick-style tube. Twist the bottom to raise the grease out the top. Best for temperatures ABOVE 40 and BELOW 80. If you get too far above 80, it starts to soften and below 45 it starts to harden. It actually melts at just over 105 degrees (F) so you can still use it up to about 90 but STORE it between 45 and 80 degrees. Below 45, it starts to harden. You can still use it down to about 35, but you'll have to spread it with your finger to melt it enough for it to actually give you uniform coverage on the cork. This is the standard range of operating temperatures for pretty much every cork grease on the market. So, this stuff is not so good for an outdoor Christmas concert in Vermont, nor a 4th of July or Labor Day concert in Texas. But if you can keep it between 40 and 90 degrees when you apply it and play with it, and store it between 45 and 80 degrees, then it should behave the way you'd expect cork grease to behave. And the tube is chapstick-sized so it has 4.25g (0.15oz) of grease.

It's cork grease. You need it, this company supplies it. Reasonable viscosity/thickness, works well, standard size. I wish I had a sense of smell because I always remember cork grease having a pleasant smell.

Works as it should.

Works really well smells nice and doesn’t mess up my cork. Honestly, simple purchase and lovely to use if you don’t know how your kids instrument works and they ask you to buy cork grease!

It’s awsome product.
