The Hodge Silk Flute Swab

The silk flute swabs are great for any level of flutist. They are soft enough for polishing the instrument and absorbent enough to soak up the water when swabbing the inside of the instrument. Simply thread through the end of any cleaning rod.

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.
