Silk swabs?

[Lmnopeas]

I've been looking into getting a silk swab. What are the benefits of using a silk swab, and what brands make them for trombone?

Trombones are not nearly as delicate as woodwinds, so silk swabs really aren't appropriate. They would probably get ripped apart.

Brass Saver brushes are probably the best equivalent for a trombone.

I use an alto sax silk swab on the bell section. I take it apart and run the swab through all three parts.
I wash the whole instrument with soap and water once every week. Then lube everything. I bought the swab at a saxophone repair shop in San Francisco.

Yamaha makes a swab with a microfiber cloth. The string is about 3’ and the swab is about 3’ so you can use it in the outer slide. Product # is YAC BSTB2

Like tbonesullivan said, Brass Saver makes a swab, too. I’ve used both. I prefer the Yamaha, but the Brass Saver is probably more convenient. Both work well. Both are available at Dillon Music.
