 Re: Cotton Swab Vs. Silk

I use silk for the whole instrument during a concert, and afterward run a small chamois (on a weighted string) through the bottom joint.

I like the idea of oiling only the bell and let the swam 'carry' some into the instrument in very small bits.

Re: feathers. I've never used a turkey feather but my teacher recommended a pheasant feather as they are so straight; fortunately my relatives in Nebraska used to hunt them so I (formerly) had a decent supply. Have NEVER seen pheasant feathers offered by the retailers though. And I would only use a feather in the upper joint if my playing had yielded a very, very small amount of moisture.

So interesting to find such different habits/regimens out there, ain't it?
