Description

Hodge Silk Swabs are premium swabs made from pure silk for removing moisture from woodwind instruments after each use. Hodge swabs are regularly recommended by repairmen for optimum care of your instrument. The silk baritone saxophone swabs are uniquely designed to swab out the circular part of the body after each playing session. This swab is designed to keep this area clean and to keep gunk from building up. It is a foam covered flexible snake, 24 inches long and the diameter of the bore of the circular section of the saxophone, with a silk covering which quickly absorbs the water that has accumulated. This swab is pushed into the top of the saxophone and around the loop and then pulled back out removing the moisture. The neck is cleaned similarly.

    • Plan on buying more!!
Color: Black
Works great! My son runs the swab through the neck pieces (the top coil and the detachable parts) of his baritone sax (Yamaha YBS-52) after each use. Easy to use--no fishing weights through the bottom of the instrument and rotating a huge instrument to try and grab a weighted string. The Hodge swab comes out nice and wet--really picks up residual moisture. Love that it's washable. I threw away the washing instructions and couldn't find any online, but just hand washed this one in Woolite after about a month & a half of use. Rinsed super well. Left on a towel to dry. Swab fabric picked up a couple of minor tears/snags early on--not sure what it caught on, but didn't seem to hurt anything in the sax or the effectiveness of the swab. MUCH better than leaving gunk to grow into nastiness inside of his horn! I play on buying more when this one wears out, for sure. ... show more

    • Works well but rips easily
Color: Purple
The fabric is prone to a bit of ripping, as other reviewers photos suggest, but the overall design is quite good and works better than any of the alternatives for swabbing the bow of a bari sax.

    • Great, Effective Product!
Color: Black
Although this sounds extremely disgusting, I use the school's baritone saxophone and unfortunately had to share it with someone last year. That is no longer the case and I am now the only one who uses it. So, I decided I would try out some sort of cleaning device for my precious bari so that it wouldn't be so disgusting anymore (no joke, the neck and the curve were absolutely nasty). I came across this and decided to purchase it. It works fantastically! After rehearsals every day, I place this flexible swab through the neck and the curve of my bari sax. It also fits completely through my mouthpiece as well (I use a Yamaha 5C bari sax mouthpiece). It gets out almost all the moisture and will remove all of that old, gross, built up spit. It's very effective and I would definitely recommend it! ... show more

    • The best swab for the job!
Color: Black
When I bought this swab, I'd been playing my bari for about a year, once a week. I'd tried all the other methods of cleaning it and nothing worked. There were even a few times I was horrified that something would never come out of the bend of my saxophone ever again. (Thankfully it did come out with some extra effort). Do not listen when people say it isn't important to clean your instrument. The spit valve helps, but it starts closed when your horn is put away and all that moisture grows. By the time I found this swab and got to use it for the first time, plenty of things had started to grow. It came out NASTY! However, with cleaning after every use, it only comes out wet anymore and dries quickly. The other complaint I've read was that it tears easily. Unfortunately this is true, but take a look where you put the swab into the neck of the sax and you'll see a piece of metal that sticks out into the space within the neck. With time, of course it's going to wear through the swab. This is not due to poor workmanship, but due to how the neck is designed. What I've found works to avoid ripping the swab too quickly is to aim so the seam of the swab faces away from the inner protrusion. Even when it's ripped, keep the rip facing away from that area. The swab will still work. I know it sucks to have to replace it every 6 months or so, but that's maintenance for you. You have to buy reeds all the time, so add this to your shipping list when it's getting ragged and be proud that your horn is being maintained and will be much less likely to need even more costly repairs! I'd rather this than have a sax that stinks to high heavens and needs professional deep cleaning and pads replaced. ... show more

    • Worth every penny.
Color: Black
Don't know how I played Baritone Sax for 30 years without this in my case. It's a great accessory and does a good job of removing moisture from the crook of the baritone body.

    • Works quite well
Color: Burgundy
Much better than making one very long swab and running it thru the same way you would a clarinet. A bari sax is definitely not a clarinet! This swab is inserted at the top of the horn (where the neck attaches) and pushed into the crook. It's flexible so it curves with the brass tube. Insert the swab about half-way then pull it back out. It's also machine washable. ... show more

    • Contra Alto Clarinet Player's Friend
Color: Black
Bought it to swab the neck of my contra alto clarinet. Works great! Not sure if it'd be long enough to do a contra bass the entire way but it'd at least get the big pool that collects in the bottom curve. Also works on my bari, but I've never really seen a need to swab a bari since it has a spit valve. ... show more
