Hodge Silk Flute Swab

Description

The Hodge silk flute swabs are great for any level of flautist. They are soft enough for polishing the instrument and absorbent enough to soak up the water when swabbing the inside of the instrument. Simply thread through the end of any cleaning rod.

The swab comes in different colours; a random one will be sent.

About Hodge Swabs

All Hodge silk swabs are made from 100% silk and come in performers black, royal blue, burgundy, forest green, and deep purple. Silk is very absorbent, soaking up water in instruments better than any other natural material on the market, including both cotton and chamois. Most uniquely, silk is also very compressible, making it possible to pull through instruments with large variations in bore size. In addition, silk is lint free.

Clarinet, Oboe and English Horn swabs are made using a plastic coated straight weight. The saxophone swabs and bass clarinet swabs use a plastic-coated lead weight in a tear-drop shape. Bassoon, bassoon bocal, trumpet, and French horn swabs use a ball chain, which is very effective as a weight and more flexible than traditional straight weights. The ball chain is non-abrasive and does not scratch the bore or other parts of the instrument when used properly.
