All of our swabs are made from 100% silk fabric. Additionally, we burn test our fabric to ensure that we are providing you with a genuine silk product.

Our weights are lead-free tungsten sealed in plastic to protect your instrument. The cords on our soprano and sopranino clarinet swabs are long enough to go through the instrument and our bass swabs, unless otherwise specified, easily travel through the upper and lower joints. We test our swabs by pulling them through the bores of Buffet professional instruments. If you are looking for other sizes or have questions, please contact us at lanniganlimited.com.
