Does it work with synthic corks?

Absolutely. It is the best wine opener I have ever used. I had tried an electric one before but was not satisfied; I then tried one of the gas powered ones (injects CO2 into bottle and forces the cork out from pressure), which worked well, but I was forever having to go buy more cartridges to keep it working. This one is simply superb--real cork, artificial cork, anything. You will be pleased with it.

It seems to work with every cork...have not one stick or break like my other brand of opener did. I love this one...and the charge lasts and lasts! I am very, very happy with it.

Generally works with synthetic corks. However, it is slightly underpowered so it can be slow with synthetic or hard natural corks. Nice device and easy to use. Excellent foil cutter.

I purchased this for my husband and we have used this on several types of corks both long and short. We haven't had any problems at all. It even releases the cork right in your hands. We love it. Hope this helps.

So far as I can tell it works with 750ml and 1.5l bottles and any that will fit the base plate diameter. The bottom adjusts quite a bit for height, so that should accommodate many different height bottles. Standard size corks are fine - not sure about other sizes.

Synthetic corks are a problem with any wine opener. I find that, due to the lever, on the Brookstone it really pulls them out easier, but some of those things are a BEAR! Saying not to use it on synthetics is probably a disclaimer, because they will eventually stretch any corkscrew of this type, including the electric kind, that has the long, more open spiral, not like the old-school corkscrews, with the two arms , or a wine tool, that have a sturdier, tighter spiral corkscrew. This is why they sell the replacement units that are simple, and inexpensive to replace. The fact is that the lever itself is what makes it easy to remove those buggers! I have a Williams Sonoma one that is very similar that lasted 10 years before I replaced the spiral,, and I use it when I volunteer at my theatre's concession, opening MANY bottles a show, plus fundraisers and concerts and wine tastings as much as 30 nights a year, plus my own use. and there were some of those synthetic corks, that were nearly impossible to remove with anything...I think that is what finally stretched mine. The thing was still useable, but it didn't pull out as smoothly and easily, so I just replaced it, and it works like new. The Brookstone one seems to be a better made piece especially because of the lever handle. The corkscrew pieces themselves are readily available, so I think this opener is a good choice.

Yes. You cut off the plastic over the cork with the cutting blade that is included and place the electric opener over the cork in the middle and push the down side of the button. It stops when done and you lift it up and the cork is off. Then you push the up side of the button to release the cork. It is a great invention.

It has a polarity switch on it that lets it work on almost any keyboard, I use them for Korg, Yamaha, and Roland keys.

I don't know. However, in the past, I have used this pedal even with Yamahas, and it did work.

Yes, the Snark will work on any instrument to which it can be attached to pick up the tonal vibrations. The SN-2 covers the full range of pitches. It just clips on. I use it on mandolins, octave mandolin, mandola, banjos, baritone ukulele, guitars, etc. Just about everyone with whom I play uses it.

Wine bottles have different shaped tops and the Cilio does not work with some of them. So far I have found that it does not work with about half the bottles of wine I have tried it on. It leaks.

It works on most bottle, there is only 1 my husband found wouldn't work in it. It's a big blue bottle, the top sort of goes out at the top. It's the only 1 that won't work in it. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a good corker at a decent price. My husband LOVES his, says "It's so slick & easy" to use.

Sorry, I did not purchase this item. My cork holder is in the shape of a wine glass and I just drop the corks into the top. Janet

As long as I know, I had connected from a Yamaha to a microbrute and they had trigger the sounds. Since it has a midi input it should work with it

Yes, but the sound will not be reduced by 6 mm of cork as much as 1 or 2 " acoustic tile or foam. rolled cork is a form of press board and unless sealed will come apart in time. I used the cork as underlayment for a model train lay out and it worked fine at reducing mechanical noise. It was glued to a plywood table top and sealed with marine varathane.

Assuming the Synth stock is similar in design to the wood stock it should work fine. I have the wood stock and it fit perfectly.

I would check with the manufacturer, but a replacement corkscrew does not come with the unit. Also, the unit does not come apart.

Yes, it have it, I purchased this sustain pedal, and works fine with the keyboard Yamaha FC4 Piano Style Sustain Pedal:Yamaha FC4 Piano Style Sustain Pedal

Absolutely. The idea is to prevent the oxygen from going in with wine. If the cork is tight in its place the top does not matter.
