All Hodge silk swabs are made from 100% silk and come in performers black, royal blue, burgundy, forest green, deep purple, and silver.

The oboe swabs clean the entire instrument fully assembled. They have a safety cord on the back end, so that if there were a knot in one and it got stuck, it could be pulled back out the way it went in.

Silk is very absorbent, soaking up water in instruments better than any other material on the market, including both cotton and chamois. Silk is also very compressible, making it possible to pull through instruments with large variations in bore size. In addition, silk is lint free.

This Hodge swabs are made using a ball chain, which is very effective as a weight and more flexible than most traditional straight weights. The ball chain is non-abrasive and does not scratch the bore or other parts of the instrument when used properly. The saxophone swabs and bass clarinet swabs use a plastic-coated lead weight.

Please mention in comments section during check out which is your prefered colour and perhaps a second choice if not available.
