The World's Best Clarinet Swab
The World's Best Clarinet Swab
Clarinet swabs. You probably don't think about yours very much. It probably has the logo of your clarinet on it (if you can still read it through the funk that's accumulated on it). Maybe it's time for something better.
We created this fantastically soft, thick, absorbent swab with custom-made Korean microfiber (no kidding—they manufacture the best microfiber in the world). It is 5x8" (13cm x 20 cm), and ruggedly sewn to a thick, 3-foot (1m) lace tube, inside which is a 2" (5cm) stainless steel weight.
You will love this swab. I swear.
Note: This swab is identical to the Eb clarinet swab now. Both have thinner weights and cabling for through all bores.

does its job, take it!
I have not tried every different clarinet swab in the world so I can't honestly say that it is the best but I can say that in my more than 50 years of playing clarinet and having used many different swabs this is the best that I have ever used. Silk, chamois, cotton cloth, whatever it doesn't matter, nothing I have ever used in the past has been as good as this swab.
First, a shout out to Michael Lowenstein aned Earspasm Music. I have been ordering clarinet related products from him for almost a year--from instruments and reeds, to clarinet swabs and other accessories. Michael has been more than gracious with his time and sharing his knowledge. Now about his clarinet swab. Simply the best swab available today. For so many years (yes...over 50), I have been using traditional swabs made by Buffet and Vandoren. They are cotton, large, and and tend to be somewhat absorbent, but spread the water throughout the instrument. In comparison, the Earspasm swab is smaller, made from a more absorbent material, and really remove water and moisture from the bore of the instrument. For me, there is absolutely NO comparison...the Earspasm swab is a winner that should be used by every serious clarinetist...
Wonderful! My go-to swab! Another great product from Earspasm! Well-made and very absorbent. I absolutely love the bass clarinet swab.
I'm a student in high school currently playing bass for my band. I've been you the same crappy swab for the past 4 years and it is nasty and does a poor job of cleaning. This swab truly deserves being called the world's best bass clarinet swab. It takes just a few second to clean more horn and it becomes completely dry. I am a player who will play for hours on end and this is a savior for me and my instrument. If you're looking for a swab, this is the one. Thank you!!!
