Hodge FBP Flute Swab, Purple

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.

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.

This is a fine addition to my flute cleaning arsenal, which is this and a microfiber cloth for the exterior. If you are interested and have some old silk fabric around the house, this measure approximately 18"x21" (45cmx53cm). Highly recommended.

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

I liked that it arrived, I didn't like it had to be ordered twice. It was a little smaller than we had hoped but it ended up being free so hard to complain. It does do the job and is basically everything it was advertised to be, other than being delivered on the guaranteed date but again, they worked that out so not a big deal I guess. I would likely order it again.

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.
