I've seen several references to Ann Hodge silk swabs. Can anyone tell me where to check them out? Thanks.

I think they're available at most music stores in urban areas. I bought mine at a medium-sized mom-and-pop store in Northern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.

thats right ... local or from any of the mail-order firms.
as mark charette would say .. check out our Sneezy Sponsors. Also, you can look under Resources, too.

Discount Reed, listed under the Retail Section, sells them (I think)

FWIW ----
WW&BW sells the Giggliotti Silk Swab which is a dynamite looking Black 100%Silk Double-Ended Swab replete with Anthony Gigliotti's Signatrure in White Script throughout. Double-weighted at either end to avoid getting stuck. Its a larger silk swab than most (including Ann's which I own in several varieities & colors)
Better news: WW&BW sells 'em for $17.95. Other purveyors have sold them as high as $40.00 during ClarinetFest @ Norman, OK.

I purchased one at J. L. Smith in Charlotte, and one at Mechanicsville Music in Richmond.
J. L. Smith's website is http://www.flutesmith.com
I believe that the products are made in Waldorf, MD

Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center in Wheaton, Md. also has them, including some dynamic purple ones for bass clarinet.
