Re: DIY Oboe swab?

One thing that will potentially save you a ton of grief in the future is to put a string on the end of the swab that is longer than the top joint, so that you can pull the swab back out in the event that you pull it through by accident with a knot in it (i.e. put the chain on one end so that it will pull itself through the oboe, but on the other end put this piece of string so that you can pull it back out if it gets stuck). The important thing is that the string is longer than the top joint, so that even if the very bottom of the swab is knotted and stuck, you can still pull the swab back out.

Good luck with this! Let me know how it works out...
