Here's the swab I like best:

http://www.forrestsmusic.com/swabs.htm

Scroll down the page -- it's the one called "Silk Pull-Through Swab with Tail", priced at $11.00

The "WITH TAIL" part is very, very important. If, for whatever reason, you get a knot in the string that you don't notice before you put it in your instrument, you can very easily pull this one back out the other direction. Without the tail, a knotted swab will get stuck in the instrument and create the need for a visit to the repair shop. It happens. It has happened to me. I don't know how it happens, but it happens. The tail is a must!!

I can also vouch for Forrests internet order process. They are VERY fast at order fulfillment, and they are very knowledgeable about all things oboe.
