CORK! Did you know it comes from an Oak Tree?



Nothing like it! The world of musical instruments cannot exist without it! From sax neck corks to oboe pads, synthetics just cannot compete.

Here are a few videos that show cork production.

The first video is epic. OSHA would be astounded at the methods used!

Old Black and White footage.

The next video is a bit more modern and gives great explanation to cork production. Even though it focuses on wine cork production, you will learn a lot about what makes it work!
