  • Swab for wind instruments
    Patent number: 5212332
    Abstract: An improved swab for wind instruments for removing accumulated deposits of condensation within the instrument which if not removed can change the instrument tone, and in severe cases destroy sound production, producing a hiss or gurgling sound instead of a tone. The swab is made of highly absorbent silk, is not subject to jamming within the instrument, forcing moisture into the tone holes of the instrument, or leaving lint within the instrument, and includes a jam releasing pull-out tail.
