Hodge Silk Flute Swab - Purple

This silk cloth works so well, I came back after getting my first one (for my performance flute) to buy a second one for use with my practice flute. It works so much better than the felt-cloth swab I was previously using. I can look down the barrel of the flute to compare moisture streaks left behind with the felt swab versus no streaks left by the silk. The silk is super absorbent and feels moist aftwards from all moisture it picked up - no moisture left behind = longer pad life and longer flute life! This the silk swab may feel wet after swabbing, but it dries amazingly fast. I love both my swabs!

This swab fit easily into the flute and did its expected job there well. I have since sold the flute. I kept the swab and washed it to use as a zipper pouch lining. It is a beautiful shade of purple.

Really great as a flute swab. I have several. Very effective for removing moisture in headjoint and tube body. They dry quickly and last a good while. Just be slow when inserting the swab into headjoint or body. Going too fast will tend to age the selving (stitching around the edge which ultimately frays the silk.

It dries the inside of the flute well, however, it takes some time to dry. The silk fabric feels great though and after repeated use each day it holds up. I just wouldn’t keep the swan inside your flute case until it’s 100% dry.

I was hoping there would be some kind of string attached to this, as I use it to clean my flute. I used to have one that you would drop the string down the body and pull it, and the silk cloth would be pulled through. However, I just stick this through the hole in my cleaning rod (comes with all flutes), and it works well. Silk is the best material for an instrument cleaning cloth. This cloth isn't that big, so it fits into my case well. (I wouldn't buy this for a large instrument, but it's great for something flute-sized). It's a little thin, but it's nice quality, and looks nice. Best cloth I found on Amazon, and I searched for a while! However, you would probably find a bigger, thicker one (with a string, if you want) at a music store. Good for the price too!

I've always used cotton to absorb my flute moisture but this silk product does a great job and will last much longer.

This is real silk which means it’s very absorbent despite being amazingly thin, it dries very very quickly, and it’s easy to wash in the kitchen sink. This is the cleaning cloth to purchase. The microfiber or fake silk ones are nowhere near as good as this.

This cleaning swab seems to absorb the moisture out of my flute a lot more efficiently than the old one I used to have. One pass through the interior get almost everything, and after two passes, the inside of my flute is looking nice and dry. Also, the royal purple color just gives it a feeling of luxury, which is nice as a little treat. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to others.

I have a new wooden flute, so I have to be extra careful about swabbing it. I wanted a green one and this is the only one I could find. It is a great swab and much bigger than the black one that I'd been using for years. It's very expensive, even more so than the burgundy swab, which is strange. I held off buying it for a while because of the price, but it should last for years, so I finally ordered it. Delivery was fast and I'm happy to have it.

I bought this after some advice that silk was the best for cleaning a flute head joint. It’s very nice and does the job without leaving lint behind. However, at the price I could have bought a piece of pure silk cloth from a dress shop.

It was rubbish far too small not absorbent at all.

This flute swab cloth is great. It is easy to use and easy to clean.
