How to Replace the Cork in a Trombone Water Key

소개

A leaky water key can make playing difficult and a horn sound strange. Instrument repair professionals can fix leaky water keys, but often times all a water key needs is a new cork—an easy fix you can do at home. Water key corks are inexpensive and available at most music stores and online, but a wine cork cut to the right size will work in a pinch.

Let me suggest that there is an easier way to a permanent solution for leaky corks - remove the water automatically by installing a JoyKey. No more leaking corks, no moving parts, no sptings or having to manually deal with water.
