Hodge Silk Baritone Saxophone Swab - Purple

Works great! My son runs the swab through the neck pieces (the top coil and the detachable parts) of his baritone sax (Yamaha YBS-52) after each use. Easy to use--no fishing weights through the bottom of the instrument and rotating a huge instrument to try and grab a weighted string. The Hodge swab comes out nice and wet--really picks up residual moisture. Love that it's washable. I threw away the washing instructions and couldn't find any online, but just hand washed this one in Woolite after about a month & a half of use. Rinsed super well. Left on a towel to dry. Swab fabric picked up a couple of minor tears/snags early on--not sure what it caught on, but didn't seem to hurt anything in the sax or the effectiveness of the swab. MUCH better than leaving gunk to grow into nastiness inside of his horn! I play on buying more when this one wears out, for sure.

Does a perfect job cleaning round the bend in the Bari neck.

The fabric is prone to a bit of ripping, as other reviewers photos suggest, but the overall design is quite good and works better than any of the alternatives for swabbing the bow of a bari sax.

It's a little fiddly to get it in the Bari's neck, but it works. Be ready to ignore the x-rated jokes. ;)

Just don’t buy it it’s a waste of money
