Re: interesting new DEMAND swabs

Author: Gordon (NZ)

I have one of the "Demand" swabs advertised.

It is simply a double layer rectangle of silk about 9 x 5", with one elongated corner, and with a strip of cotton fabric inside, about an inch wide, running the length, sewn along one seam of the rectangle.

I think "...unique envelope design which traps air inside the swab and pushes the silk towards the interior walls of your instrument.. " is a rather imaginative statement. If any air is trapped it is because of the nature of fabric, not the design. It is not air that pushes the silk outwards, it is the slight rigidity that is the nature of the fabric (indeed most fabrics) that does so.

However the swab is well made, and I guess, better than most if not all. I have not actually used it yet.
