 Re: Correct way to swab

Hi,
The whole idea of swabbing the clarinet after playing is to remove accumulated moisture. Being the mouthpiece end gets the wettest; you should run the swab from the dryer end (bell) to and out of the wet end (barrel). Doing it the other way would spread the moisture through the clarinet. Think of it as paint running down inside the bore. Which way would you go to remove it without smearing it all over?

Best Regards
Mark
