Re: A Cautionary Tale: Stuck Swabs

Oh -- what a nightmare!

I'm not sure how or why the octave vent would ever become the most logical place through which to extract a stuck swab, though. But I wasn't there, and wasn't faced with whatever it was they were faced with.

It just sounds like the perfect storm.

Did they pull the octave vent, too, or is that the part that is deformed? If it is "just" the (metal) vent, then I would guess all you'd need to do is replace the vent. If it is the wood itself that is damaged (how extensively?), perhaps a new octave vent with a lot of beeswax would fix it.

What is the tool tip stuck on/into? I'd think that if there was NO swab left, it would just fall out.

I don't know if there are any repairers on this board who could tell you what to do next. I'm supposed to see my teacher tomorrow, and I can ask her (her husband is a big deal oboist, and apparently a real genius about this sort of thing).

Are you a member of the IDRS? Maybe a question on the IDRS Forum is in order. If you would like, I will post a query there.

If it were a clarinet, I'd say I'm sure it could be repaired. And I have to think that this is repairable, too.
