Pull Throughs - Why Hodge?

Pull Throughs - Why Hodge?

Hodge Products Inc. Silk Pull Throughs are new to us, and we think to most of the UK. Their products are all 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

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.
