Hi guys!

Where do you get the cork supplies to change the cork of the joints? Any good online store within the UK?

Thanks

'...I want to warn you that playing the flute is impossible for those who have no tongue, for all notes must be led by the tongue; therefore, those of you who take pleasure in playing the flute should guard your tongue against mould, which is to say, drink often.'
- Philibert Jambe der Fer (1556)

Thank you very much. Just the last question.
What kind of glue do you use to replace the cork?

Best,
