- I bet you carefully clean your trumpet of moisture (okay, spit) every time you play it. You probably return that bonus onion ring in your fries too huh? Well, I don't. I mean clean my trumpet. Ha, who am I kidding. A bonus onion ring? I enjoy that with a smile. Oh wait, what were we talking about? Oh right. Wanna make a swab to wipe out the spit from your leadpipe and tuning slide after you play? Cheap? I used 80 pound fishing line also known as monofiliment. It's got a bit of stiffness yet is soft so it won't scratch anything. You can use any microfiber cloth or polishing cloth.
If you want to learn how to clean your trumpet, cornet, or flugelhorn, here's how, in excruciating detail. I mean with step by step instructions and pictures.

Thanks for playing along.
Okay you cut off the other side where the stiff part was wrapped around your cloth ...But the string you just put through the lead pipe isnt that going to scratch the lead pipe?
thankfully no. monofiliment is softer than brass. I’ve used swabs for decades with no issues. Swabbing to keep dry rot at bay has helped for sure. happy playing !
