Hodge Silk Clarinet Swabs

HODC

  

Hodge Products manufacture professional silk swabs in the U.S. to precisely suit each woodwind instrument.  They are made from 100% silk and come in performer's black, royal blue, burgundy, forest green, deep purple, hot pink and silver.  Silk is very absorbent, soaking up water in instruments better than any other natural material on the market, including both cotton and chamois. Most uniquely, silk is also very compressible, making it possible to pull through instruments with large variations in bore size.  As an added benefit, silk is lint-free.

Clarinet, Oboe and English Horn swabs are made using a plastic coated straight weight.

Bassoon, bassoon bocal, trumpet, and french horn swabs use 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.  The Baritone Saxophone swab is a 60cm foam-filled snake-style swab designed to be push through the loop and removed backwards

The Hodge Silk Clarinet Swab

The silk clarinet swabs are perfect for both professionals and students alike. The silk fabric and the swab's shape make it virtually impossible for the swab to get stuck in the instrument. This offers a great advantage over traditional swabs.
