Hodge Silk Soprano Saxophone Swab - Burgundy

I'm much happier now that I've used this swab for a while than I was after some scary jams earlier. As a result, I've increased my star rating from two to four. On a soprano sax, however, any swab should be used with extreme caution. Because the interior is so cramped, any swab can easily become stuck, necessitating a trip to your repairman for expert extraction. Silk, on the other hand, is the best material for a saxophone swab, and Hodge makes some of the best. REMEMBER TO BE CAREFUL! I've discovered the importance of paying attention- You can't do more than one thing at the same time. While swabbing the way you can on alto, tenor, and so on, make sure the swab stays elongated and doesn't bunch up as you pull it through after lowering the weight down the bell, through the body, and out the top. Hold the sax horizontally to prevent the swab from falling into the cavity all at once. I also keep a firm grip on the swab's trailing edge until it's deep inside the bell. It works best if you take it slow and easy. If you find yourself in a lot of traffic despite your best efforts, give up on drop-offs. For soprano, use swabs and the pad saver made by H.  .

I honestly expected the cloth to get stuck in my one-piece straight-neck soprano, but it hasn't yet, and I'm hoping it doesn't.
