In-depth review

A swab for the wing joint, the part where most moisture builds up after playing. The fabric is highly absorbent and washable, and the cord has a weight at the end that makes it easy to pull through the bore.

Drying the instrument after every practice session helps preserve the wood and the pads, so this swab is usually considered essential at any stage.
