Hodge Silk Oboe Swab

The Hodge Standard Silk Oboe Swab The Hodge Standard Silk Oboe Swab is designed to clean the entire instrument while fully assembled. It features a safety cord on the back end, allowing the swab to be carefully pulled back out if it becomes stuck. All oboe swabs now use a straight weight instead of a ball chain for smoother and safer operation. Key Features Pure Silk Highly Absorbent Lint-Free Compressible Design The Qualities of Silk All Hodge silk swabs are made from 100% silk and are available in performers black, royal blue, burgundy, forest green, and deep purple. Silk is exceptionally absorbent, removing moisture more effectively than many other natural materials, including cotton and chamois. Its compressible nature also allows the swab to move easily through instruments with varying bore sizes.
