Love it
Perfect for clarinet cork. Just use an old reed to take it out and spread it so you don't have a ton on your fingers. Work like a charm.

Very good but hard to get out of tub
This is a very thick grease that is almost solid in the container. However it spreads easily on cork and lubricates corked flute joints very well.
The only problem I have with it is that because it is so solid you have to scrape your finger pretty hard on the grease to get any out of the tub. Because of this it partly coats your finger but also gets granular bits of grease on your finger. The amount is random. So it's hard to get a consistent amount out of the tub. It's not hugely important but it's an irritation. It would be better in a stick dispenser or some other type of container.
I'd give it 100% for doing it's job. I'll buy it again in the future and hope they come up with a better dispenser in the meantime.

A great slide grease!
I use this grease on the tuning slides of my trombone and euphonium, and it is a wonderful product. It only takes a tiny bit of this grease to make the slides work smoothly for months. There is enough grease in the little pot to last for years and years. Some other products are difficult to wash off from hands after application but I haven't had the problem with this grease. It also smells nice like all La Tromba products that I have tried.

Does the job just as it should
I am using this mainly to lube the tuning slide on my trumpets. It has just the right thickness to give the right resistance while still allowing very smooth sliding. Excellent for the job.

trusted kit
After trying other products, and been left unsatisfied, I finally got this one. Only a smidge needed and it does the job. I only apply it every few weeks and it has my trumpet slides very smooth and clean, it gives you confidence that the tuning slides will respond without a problem, right when you need it most during a live performance.

It works fine, but you'll get your hand all sticky, i would recomend Hetman Nr. 7 Slide Gel, it works really well, and you don't get your hands all sticky.

Price is good for this super Slide and cork grease
I bought this because I was struggling to find a slide grease for my trumpet here in KZ. I wanted to buy the more expensive one, but I decided to buy this to try. I would tell you that this small thing does the job well. Now, I don't have any problems with my trumpet slides. Just when you apply, always start with little amount. Try this, Your gonna like it.
Pros
cheap, its does the job done, easy to use even without experience.

None

Great spacefiller
This is an historic spacefiller grease, Absolutely perfect to use, specially if you deal with old band instruments, like my student tuba. It manages to lube and keep the pipes in place, whuile other lighter greases tend to lube a little loo much
