Small little carrying jar that is real sturdy for just this string cleaner. But was a great price. And size doesn't matter because it covers the job it needs to do. Easy on you can tell the difference. Just remember to rub in on then wipe off so that that slipperiness is there. Slide up and down the neck with ease on your strings now while longer life and maybe even some brightness back to those grimmy strings. If not wiped down after put on it with seem sticky and you will miss the slidablity.

So, this stuff seems to keep strings fresh. I wipe down with applicator pad after playing. It adds some lube so fingers glide smoother thru changes and may slightly decrease string noise. It definitely seems to help condition my fingertips.....as they have been much smoother and less callouses since using this stuff. I feel like I am addicted to the string lube/cleaner. Note that the people complaining about empty containers and stuff must not realize how this stuff works. The container holds an premoistened applicator pad with a grip and cover. So you take the cover off of the applicator pad and use the applicator pad grip to hold on to while you rub the applicator pad on the strings. When you are done you put the cover on the applicator pad and then put the applicator pad with cover into the screw cap case to keep it from drying out. There is no additional lubricant in the case, as it is already on the pre lubed pad. For the money it seems like a worthwhile investment to me and works as it should.

Oh my! This is the answer to fingertip pain. Try it! In particular, helped me with instruments like Mandolin and Banjo which were giving my fingertips a workout.

The product cleans the strings very well but they feel very dry and it’s hard to slide after use.

I bought this because the Amazon listing showed a metal can. It is not. It a junk plastic container!

Bought this as it seemed impossible to get my hands on a (normally priced) can of GHS Fast Fret, which I've been using for 20 years. This D'Addario sponge system works pretty well, but it dries out fast (even when always putting the cap back on and without a lot of usage). It's not Fast Fret, but you could do worse.

Çalmayı acayip kolaylaştırdı, parmaklar telde akıyor resmen, 2 aylık telleri yeni gibi hissettirdi. Sadece süngere emili şekilde gelmesini beklemiyordum. Yani süngeri -ayakkabı boyası gibi- bişeye batırıp sürmüyorsunuz. Sıvı/kayganlaştırıcı süngere emili şekilde geliyor (askerdeki bot parlatıcılar gibi). Yapısı, çok seyreltilmiş yağ gibi, herhangi kokusu da neredeyse yok gibi. Ne kadar süre gideceğinden emin değilim ama çok memnun kaldım.
