Comes with everything you need. The cement was hard to squeeze. Would have given 5 stars if the cork had been pre-cut at 45 degrees. Even has a shoe string to hold the cork until cement is set.

Managed to get the job done but I ran out of cork and had to order it again. The blade and glue are good

I was able to recork my alto sax on the 2nd try after ruining the first cork trying to cut the end on a bevel. But, I did practice several times on the ruined piece and then was able to cut the bevel on the 2nd piece as required. Still, it is a tedious procedure at best. It would be GREAT if the cork pieces were supplied with the bevel already cut. Secondly, the contact glue suppliied comes in a tube with a very slim needle type tip dispenser. I had to cut that off in order to get the correct quantity of glue to come out. Overall, the job was done and it seems to look and work okay; time will tell how durable the job is.

I got this cork for my 1968 Bundy Alto Sax which was still sporting the original cork. The kit contains literally everything you need to replace the cork. The process is a little tedious but it doesn't require much training either. There are instructions provided, although they could be a little more helpful. I'll get to that in a moment.FWIW, I'm not an instrument tech. Just an owner and occasional player.Included in the kit are:3 suitably sized pieces of cork (you'll only need one, so you can afford to mess it up twice)A tube of contact cementA tiny retractable-blade cutter, something like a mini box cutterSandpaper for getting the circumference of the cork right where you need it once it's glued onShoestring for wrapping the cork while it's dryingInstructions for the processThe only additional things you'll need will be water for soaking the cork before and some way of "toasting" the cork (a hair dryer is suggested).I think that really is all you'll need, and I appreciate the opportunity to mess this up twice before I figure it out.My only gripes are this:1) The first step is "Clean up the interface..." And that's all it says. This involves stripping off the old cork, removing the remnants, and then cleaning the surface thoroughly. A little more input on this critical step would be appreciated.2) Then, the instructions say to "cut a 45° bevel out of one end of the cork with a knife so that the interface is flat when glued." This means, when you wrap the cork around the neck, the end should have a bevel so it can lie flat as it meets the other end. I get that. But I don't intuitively understand the method of slicing a 45° angle into a small, very thin piece of cork. Fortunately, there are online videos that describe this process.In summary, this kit really does have what you need for this repair. Some more detailed instructions would be appreciated, but they're easily found online elsewhere.

This is a nice collection of materials and tools for replacing neck cork. The cork is very good quality. The knife and other tools are very adequate. the Abrasive paper is great for smoothing the cork after application and the glue is dry. The instructions are well written and easy to follow. Cork grease upon completion is a nice touch. The glue (really like rubber cement) is in a tube with a tiny orifice which prevents the glue from coming out except in a really, really SLOW manner. See photo. Perhaps the glue should be opened in a different way. There is no mention of the glue in the instructions. Other than that, this is a good cork replacement kit.I recommend this product.

This Alto Saxophone cork replacement kit is not only convenient, but will save you the hassle of taking it to an instrument repair shop and spending $40-50 on something that you could easily do yourself. Many sax players know how irritating it is when frequent use of the instrument causes the cork to start crumbling off of the joints, as well as the process of scheduling a repair service and the turnaround time to get the instrument back depending on how busy the shop is. This kit provides everything you need to do it yourself—including the instructions—at about less than one-fourth or one-fifth the price.

This package surprised me with how complete it was. Not only are there three corks for an alto saxophone neck, but it also includes a string, glue, a knife, and sandpaper. I wish they had spent their money on making the cork slightly bigger, because the cork itself is barely long enough and certainly none to thick. I am a band director and occasionally do simple repairs for my students, so I have the knife, contact cement etc. but the cork is the key component. That said, this kit will probably work well for someone who is interested in repairing their own saxophone, it even includes directions, which are accurate, although obviously written by someone who is not a native English speaker.
