Good item that does the job it was intended for

It remains a mystery with Mollenhauer, as to why they don't supply these with their wooden recorders. Instead, you get a useless fibre mop type thing that leaves micro particles in the bore. So you might just as well throw that away and get one of these instead. You can use a piece of lint-free cloth or chamois leather through the rod eye. I recommend one of these for all wooden recorders.
