❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why does the oboe need two different swabs?
The oboe has two body joints with different diameters — the upper joint is narrower, the lower is wider. Each swab in the A36 set is sized for its joint: the smaller bamboo and silk swab for the upper, the larger microfiber swab for the lower. This ensures effective cleaning without the swab getting stuck.
What is the difference between bamboo & silk and microfiber?
Bamboo and silk are natural materials with a very soft texture and natural antibacterial properties — ideal for narrow, delicate sections. Microfiber is a synthetic material with excellent cleaning efficiency and durability, well suited to the wider lower joint. BG France combines both in the A36 set for optimum oboe care.
How do I wash the swabs?
Place both swabs in a laundry net and machine wash at up to 30°C. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents. Allow to dry naturally.
How often should I swab the oboe?
Pull both swabs through their respective oboe joints after every playing session. This removes condensation and moisture, preventing the wood from swelling, protecting metal parts from corrosion, and preserving the condition of the pads.
