trumpet oil
my brother played the cornet when he was a kid. My mum refused to pay for the £2.00 (a lot of money years ago) for the 10 ml bottle. She used face cream on the cornet with no ill effects. (The most basic netto-own type available, no smells, no nothing basic face cream).

She said at the time her father use to use this same cream on his cor-anglais because during the war you couldnt get the proper oil.

If this does not work, blame my mum not me- she could have been lying to me all these years.
