The bassoon swab can clean both the boot joint and the wing joint. Only one swab is needed to go through the entire body of the instrument.

The Qualities of Silk

All Hodge silk swabs are made from 100% silk and come in performers black, royal blue, burgundy, forest green, and deep purple.  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.  In addition, silk is lint free.
