 Re: A question about swabs

I usually use silk swabs. I have different sizes for oboe and Ehorn. They do have a string on both ends so they can be pulled out either way.

I'm a bit paranoid about getting a swab stuck so I always run the swab between my fingers before placing it inside the instrument to be sure it's not knotted.

I occasionally use turkey feathers. Not necessarily because they're effective, but because a colleague (trumpet player) who owns a turkey farm gave me 100 of them.
