A thought about swabbing oboes.
I used a pull thought swab when I borrowed a Fox 333 oboe from Forrests. It worked fine. I just purchased a wood oboe, and had a chat with John Symer. I don't know if this is true, false, of if he even said this, but I got the impression a pull through swab could effect the bore of a wood instrument in a negative way. I think plastic instruments are fine with the swab, but now I use the swab for the bottom joint if necessary, and only feather the top. It may also be that the top joint in my oboe seems thinner than the Fox.
Just a thought, if someone disagrees, I'm not passionate enough about it to pursue any argument.
