  • Compressible

Description

Hodge Silk Swabs are premium swabs made from 100 percent silk for removing moisture from woodwind instruments after each use. Hodge uses silk because it is absorbent, lint-free and compressible. The swabs are large enough to wick the moisture out of the larger part of the bore, but compressible enough to pull through the neck. They pull through the fully assembled instrument. They do not leave lint in the keys. They are not stored inside the instrument so the moisture does not remain. Hodge swabs are regularly recommended by repairmen for optimum care of your instrument. The silk saxophone swabs are designed to go all the way through the fully assembled saxophone. There is no need to remove the neck or carry a separate swab for the neck. This is a great convenience. The tenor saxophone swabs are designed the same as the alto saxophone swabs, but with a longer cord and heavier weight.

  • Sax swab
It works well. Sturdy material. Helps keep saliva out of Saxaphone.

  • Great device!
I like it, I like it a lot. I don't like it so much that I would kiss the inventor, but this thing is a pretty efficient way to clean a saxophone. I run it through my horn a couple of times and just store the swab in the case. It works, and I'd say it's worth the investment.

  • Love it. Fits alto and tenor saxophones.
Real silk, perfect size, highly recommended

  • Reliable
Replaced my 15 year old black Hodge silk swab with this one. String is longer than the older version.

  • Works with an alto as well
I've been using this swab for almost a year, Extremely absorbent, cleans entire sax, main body, neck, and mouthpiece, I'm using it on my Yanagisawa W02, I recommend the Tenor size for both Alto and Tenor.

  • Absorbent and easy to use.
Perfect for the saxophone. The silk splays out to touch the edges of the inside of the instrument easily picks up moisture. The slimness of the silk helps it easily pull through the saxophone. The weight on the end of the pull string is encased and doesn't scratch or dent the instrument.

  • Gets the job done
I'm new to playing the saxophone, so maybe I'm just used to ... more spit on a cloth after I'm done playing? It was highly recommended to me that I get a silk cleaning cloth for my tenor sax. This one is GREAT because the weighted thing at the end of the string makes it significantly easier than any other one I've used to get it through the giant instrument. That said, I find myself running it through my instrument several times because it just doesn't seem to be absorbing very much. I haven't noticed a problem with my pads yet, so I suppose that means it's doing its job! ... show more

  • String has a splice in it that impedes function.
I should have sent this one back -- the string has a splice, with a small "bump," that puts an elbow-like angle into it. Before noticing, I had wondered why it would tend to hang up, but thought the new string was just a bit stiff. Then noticed it always bent in the same place -- horrible quality control. But mine had disappeared on a gig & my vintage sax is too valuable to do without. Now I'm going to buy another swab but I shouldn't have to. So I'm adding this review now that I've seen that this one won't get any better. ... show more
