 Re: Cotton Swab Vs. Silk

I currently use a loree silk swab with a string on both ends in case it gets stuck. It fits through my top joint just fine, unless I'm careless and I don't notice when the string gets knotted up, but with the string on both ends, it's safer. Anyhow, I originally posted the question because some oboe players I know believe that the cotton swabs work better. I never used cotton, so I couldn't tell you. I wasn't sure if silk was more absorbant, but I do know that it goes through the top joint quite easily. Also, as mentioned, I heard different opinions about using feathers.
