- Doublers keeping one swab per horn
- Replacing a swab that has gone stiff or grimy

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Under four dollars
Cheap enough to keep two in rotation, so one dries while the other is in the case.
Detail 03
Cloth swab, not a brush
Wipes moisture out of the bore without scraping; safer around tone holes than stiff bristles.
Detail 04
Bass clarinet body length
A soprano swab often stalls partway down a bass bore and needs pulling back out.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on a regular Bb clarinet?
It is cut for bass clarinet, so it will be oversized for a soprano bore. Get the standard clarinet version instead.
02Does it clean the neck and mouthpiece too?
This is for the body bore. The bass clarinet neck and mouthpiece need their own smaller swab.
03How often should I swab?
Every time you finish playing, and again during long sessions if moisture builds up. It takes seconds and prevents pad damage.
04Can I wash it?
Yes. Wash it by hand and let it dry completely before putting it back in the case, or it will stay damp.
