Another stupid gimmick

How NOT to swab your clarinet

I often see people using these:

They're great if you want to: 

• Keep the air in your clarinet bore from circulating by trapping excess moisture.

• Keep your bore as humid as a tropical rain forest and develop a nice patina of mold in your bore and on your pads.

• Encourage your skin pads to rot.

• Develop leaks when the "fuzz" comes off and sticks in your tone holes.

• Suddenly be unable to play because the fuzz accumulated in your register tube.

Or you could 💩-can 'em and swab the bore out with a good swab every time you finish playing.
