 DIY Oboe swab?
Author: stevensfo

Hi,
Not the most academic sort of question, but has anyone made their own swab for the top joint?

I like to do things myself wherever possible and would never dream of buying a swab for my clarinet. They're so simple to make. Long piece of cotton and a bootlace.

The top joint of an oboe however is another matter. I'm ready to try using trial and error, but it would help if there were a simple sketch somewhere showing the best shape and dimensions for the piece of cotton - especially for the top where it may get stuck!

Anyone done this?
Steve
