Subj: [DR-L] My silk "feather" oboe swab-104k pic-are attachments now allowed?
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 10:43:04 -0500

The post showing a bassoon reed case made me take notice, since mailing
lists don't usually allow file attachments- I don't sell this (easy to
make your own), so here for public domain is a pic of my oboe silk
"feather" swab that can never get stuck (it narrows as you pull out the
tail from the head joint) nor can it fall apart like a feather. I got
silk from $2 shirts at the Goodwill store, 310mm are about 30cents at a
bike shop:
