❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does A34A differ from A34?
A34 is a microfiber swab with two metal weights, designed for the boot joint only. A34A is a bamboo-silk swab with a metal chain that suits both the boot joint and the wing joint. The chain is more flexible than separate weights and better navigates the varied profiles and bends of different bassoon sections.
What is the wing joint of the bassoon?
The wing joint (also called the small joint or tenor joint) is the section of the bassoon connecting the boot joint to the long joint. It has a conical bore and can accumulate moisture during playing. The A34A swab is sized to clean both the boot joint and the wing joint effectively.
Why a metal chain rather than weights?
A metal chain is a more flexible pull-through than rigid separate weights. It follows all the bends and diameter changes of the bassoon bore without getting stuck or springing back. This is especially valuable for sections with different profiles and curves.
How do I wash the BG France A34A?
The BG France A34A is machine washable at up to 30°C inside a laundry net. Do not use fabric softener and do not tumble dry — allow the swab to air dry naturally after washing.
