Cleaning Cloth Swab for Inside Tube Suitable for Clarinet Piccolo Flute Sax Saxophone (Blue)

This worked really well for my clarinet and got the gunk out much smoother than even the old rags I got from music stores. Great job!

I like that the fabric is soft and absorbent. My only complaint is that the weighted cord used to draw the cloth through the clarinet is a wee bit on the short side. There have been times I drop it through the instrument from the bell to the barrel, and I look but cannot find the weight. I have learned that I must make a concerted effort to ensure that the cloth itself sits down into the bell before I go looking for the weight. On those occasions, when I do go looking, I find the weight easily.I did have one occasion when the cloth caught on the thumb-hole vent inside the instrument. It made for a good test of durability, and although I had to pull quite vigorously, it did come free and pass through without a tragedy, no holes or tears.

Great swab, super absorbent especially for the price! However, it is relatively short. I take the clarinet apart and swab each piece.

I bought one of these for my daughter to clean her clarinet and the string isn't long enough to be pulled through the clarinet like her old one. She will need to disassemble and clean it in two parts, which makes it inferior to the old one in my opinion.

String too short for clarinet, you have to take it apart. It's also rather thick for recorders, so you can't really use it for soprano/sopranino/garklein recorders all the way through. KINDA works for alto recorder.Perfectly fine for saxophone and flute, although like I said the string is short

Too short for clarinet - have to reach far into the bell each time to pull it all the way through.

This does not fit a piccolo as is advertised. It is entirely too big and won't fit through the body of the instrument.

Takes up less room in my case and works great!
