Hodge Silk Swabs are premium swabs made from pure silk for removing moisture from woodwind instruments after each use. Hodge uses silk because it is absorbent, has no lint, and is 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 EH swabs clean the entire instrument minus the bocal 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. The English Horn swabs use a plastic coated straight weight. This swab is also the right size to work well cleaning a sopranino sax.

I expected a bit more, the price wasn’t too bad but the swab itself is very thin causing for several passes through the instrument while cleaning.

I was happy to find this swab - have been using bassoon swabs most of the time. Works just fine!

I'm an old-school oboist, a John Mack student from the 1960s who has always favored a natural turkey feather as an upper joint swab for oboe or English horn. Hodge has, with this super product, changed my mind. Well-conceived and well-executed.
