Hodge Silk Oboe Swab - Blue

My original pull through that was made of cotton lost it's aglet on on the end. It works well as a full pull through for my oboe. The aglet has an extra shrink wrapped part to help secure it. I like it better than the one that I had with a ball chain as this one does not coil in the neck of the instrument. Overall, good quality for the price and it gets the job done.

works great, and dries quickly so that it can be used any time it's needed

A silk swab is an essential part of cleaning up the oboe after playing. This silk is very useful for drying out the instrument after playing. The weighted end of the string drops through the instrument without issue. I would purchase another without pause.

Purchased swab from Hodge over 20 years ago. Current product has less swab material. Draw string on the weighted end is inadequate to drop through to top of oboe. Will replace with weight from previously purchased swab.

The swab works fine. It's nice to have a new one after 7 years.

Works for my kid who is learning oboe

I use this for a fixed neck soprano saxophone (only thing I could find that will go though all the way), but it works good. My dad uses one for his oboe too.

It's perfect.
