Hodge Silk Bassoon Bocal Swab - Burgundy

Great product and fast service

The swab is OK. The tail string (now seemingly standard on all bocal & oboe swabs) is nice. The use of a small ball-chain doesn't work particularly well as a weight. A shorter version of what's normally at the end of an oboe swab tends to work better. A somewhat larger ball-chain would also work better. The small chain tends to get hung up on the moisture in the bocal.BTW, the color doesn't make any difference as far as performance is concerned.
