Hodge Woodwind Pull Throughs - Made in the USA

Hodge Woodwind Pull Throughs - Made in the USA We begun selling Silk pullthroughs and swabs from Hodge Products Inc. in 2005, and they have been regulars on the best sellers list ever since.

The swabs are made of 100% Chinese silk, which has remarkable properties. Silk is very absorbent, soaking up water in instruments better than any other material on the market, including both cotton and chamois. Hodge silk swabs are also very compressible, making it possible to pull them through instruments with large variations in bore size. In addition, silk is lint free.

Most Hodge swabs are made using a ball chain, which is very effective as a weight and more flexible than most traditional straight weights. The ball chain is non-abrasive and does not scratch the bore or other parts of the instrument when used properly. The saxophone swabs a use a plastic-coated lead weight. The swabs for flute and piccolo require a rod

  • available for Bb, Alto and Bass Clarinet, soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone, bassoon, oboe, flute and piccolo
Hodge Silk Swab for OboeHodge Silk Swab for Oboe

It is hard to get our oboe swabs stuck! Getting a swab stuck is a common problem with pull through oboe swabs. However, our new swabs have an extra cord attached to the wide end of the swab so that they can't get stuck. If one were to get a knot in it, it could be pulled back out the way it went in. These swabs are designed to be pulled all the way through the fully assembled instrument. We recommend our silk oboe swabs for all levels of players.

Two Piece Silk Swab for OboeTwo Piece Silk Swab for Oboe

A two-piece swab (or pullthrough) for oboe, which works just like any other pull through, but has a separate piece for the upper and lower joints. Simple weighted system means the pieces are very unlikely to get stuck, but do an excelent job of cleaning the bore of the oboe.
