Re: Sax Swab

Although I use a pad-saver swab (onto which I've sewn a cotton flannel bag that I can remove and wash) in the "drainpipe" that connects down to the neck of my bass sax, because it's the only practical way to swab there, I never leave the pad-wrecker in any sax or clarinet. I've used the same three silk swabs for soprano, alto and tenor saxes since the late 1990s. The swabs haven't torn or worn out. I hand-wash them occasionally with Woolite. When they're damp, I hang them over the back of my music stand until they dry, before I put them back in the cases.

I don't use soft gig bags and I'd never send a gig bag on a school bus -- probably the worst possible environment for hard knocks.
