The Yamaha YAC 1010P is a medium-hard cork grease used for maintaining woodwind instruments like clarinets, oboes, and saxophones. It comes in a convenient twist-up stick applicator, similar to a tube of lipstick.
Features and benefits
Easy application: The tube design allows for a mess-free and easy application of the grease.
Smoothes joints: Using the grease helps woodwind instruments assemble and disassemble more easily.
Prolongs cork life: Regular use helps keep the instrument's corks moist and supple, which prevents drying, shrinking, and cracking over time.
Maintains airtightness: The product ensures the instrument's joints maintain a proper airtight seal, which is critical for consistent tone and playability.
Broad compatibility: While ideal for clarinets, oboes, and bassoons, it also works well for the neck cork on saxophones.
