You use a pheasant feather or a swab. The swab is a small weight that is store bought and will come out the top joint where you put the reed. The swab is nothing more then a piece of silk. Whether you use the cheap feather or swab, the cleaning starts from the section piece that has the cork (obvious to some but not others).

I use a blue swab that has a sort of chain at the end to help you pull the swab around.....it works very well, but, i can't get the bottom joint (not bell) of the oboe as clean or dry......any suggestions??
