Re: Correct way to swab

I swab from the bell up thru the mp being careful not to pull the swab tightly thru the mp by twisting and helping the swab thru gently. How much time would it take to wear out the mp even if we were not careful? If the swab is too tight you can remove a little off the swab until you get a slip fit. I do get worried when the swab gets hung up on the obstructions in the upper joint and have to yank the swab thru. Where is the mp damage done? In the bore , the tip, or the edges? I have never seen a mp worn out for this reason. If there was any evidence of this happening I would gladly remove and attach the mp which is about a half dozen times at every playing session. I wouldnt think it matters which direction you swab in if you remove the mp. If you do remove the mp you still have to swab it out with something.
