Thanks for the reply. I have one from my old clarinet
swab that has worked very well for me that i think I
will continue to use as well. I feel very stupid
though, the man I bought the clarinet from suggested I
merely throw the buffet swab out, but I wanted to try
it out once before. I was sort've curious. The real
question I have here is whether there could be any
serious damage done to the clarinet by using a little
force on the stuck swab. Also, I did try using a coat
hanger too and I may have scratched the inside a bit.
Could either of these have an effect on the sound?
Its going to be very embarassing bringing it back
tomorrow.
