Prepare for a great performance. Our range of Beaumont oboe cleaning swabs have been perfectly designed to access the hard to reach areas of the inside of your oboe. At 67cm in length and 15cm wide our oboe pull-through swab will absorb all of the moisture from inside the oboe. The ‘double' string allows the swab to pass through the instrument and to be withdrawn once it reaches the reed receiver, there is a slimline weight at both ends. Without regular cleaning you're at risk of dirt, fluff, moisture and grime build-up which will eventually cause the pads to stick. By inserting our bamboo charcoal oboe swab through your instrument, the lint free design picks up dirt and dust particles on the way. They soak up moisture which in turn increases the life of the pads inside your oboe. Bamboo charcoal is also more absorbent than cotton and is grown and harvested in a way to protect its natural environment for years and years to come. In development of our oboe cleaning swab cloths we tested all sorts of materials, shapes and sizes. Beaumont bamboo charcoal outperformed both silk and microfiber in real life testing as well as in the laboratory: tests: hstts I H (specified method) bs 3449 (ihtm) So look no further than a Beaumont Bamboo charcoal oboe swab, combined with the Beaumont microfiber cleaning cloths to care for your instrument.
