Detail 01
4.25g tube
Small. Enough for months of normal cork and slide upkeep, not a shop-sized supply.

Ultra-PureTuning Slide & Cork Grease 4.25g Tube
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Combination cork grease and tuning slide lubricant in a small tube. For woodwind and brass players who want one product for both jobs.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Clarinet or sax players greasing tenon corks before assembly
- Brass players who want one tube in the case
- Restocking a school or teaching studio cheaply
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players with heavily worn slides needing a thicker, heavier lube
- Anyone needing valve oil — this is not for pistons
- Trombone hand slides, which want a dedicated cream and water
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Dual cork and slide formula
One tube covers tenon corks and tuning slides, so you carry one item instead of two.
Detail 03
Tube applicator
Squeeze and wipe with a finger. No brush or stick, so it stays cleaner than a lipstick-style tube.
Detail 04
Grease consistency
Thicker than valve oil. It stays where you put it instead of running down into the bore.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Wipe the old grease and grit off before reapplying, or it grinds
- 02A thin film is enough — excess collects dust and gums up
- 03Valve oil and slide cream are separate purchases
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on trumpet valves?
No. Valves need thin valve oil. This grease is far too heavy and will slow or stick the pistons.
02Will this work on clarinet corks?
Yes. That is one of its two intended uses — it eases tenon assembly and slows cork wear.
03How long does one tube last?
For a single player applying a thin film as needed, typically several months to a year.
04Is it safe on lacquer?
It is intended for standard band instrument tuning slides and corks. Wipe off any that gets on the finish.
