 Re: quick swab for bubbly C#

Thanks for these ideas. I guess I shouldn't second-guess the great soloists. I once watched Paquito d'Rivera swab during a trio performance - he pulled it through first from one end, then the other.

I thought I needed to swab the barrel, because that end has the most moisture. But I'll try shaking the mp/barrel as susieray suggests, and practice speed swabbing in the privacy of my studio!

One drawback to pushing a swab up from below is that frequent breaking of the center joint risks disturbing the cork on the little lap mechanism that crosses the joint.
