Clarinet Hanky Swab - Cotton Handkerchief Swab - 386

Clarinet Hanky Swab – Cotton Handkerchief Swab – 386

Keep your instrument clean and dry with the 386 Clarinet Hanky Swab. Made from 100% cotton, this handkerchief-style swab is a maintenance essential that pulls through the bore to remove moisture after every practice session or performance — helping protect your pads and preserve the life of your instrument.

A concealed weight sewn into the ribbon end drops smoothly through your clarinet or flute, so you can thread the cloth through and pull it clean in seconds. Soft, absorbent, and washable, it’s built for daily use and folds down small enough to store in your instrument case.
