In 1960, musician,
inventor, and master-craftsman George Koregelos opened House of Woodwinds in
Oakland, California. Through the years, George saw the need for a better method
of cleaning and protecting woodwind instruments. In 1975, he invented the
original HW Pad-Saver®
,a de-moisturizing swab designed to wick corrosive moisture from the
bore, tone holes, and pads. The HW Pad-Saver® revolutionized woodwind
maintenance, was granted a patent and HW Products Inc. was established to
manufacture the line. Ever the inventor, George later took on the problem of
cleaning brass instruments and in 2000 the HW Brass-Saver brush was born.
Unlike anything before it, this metal-free brush could easily negotiate the
curved tubing of everything from trumpets to French horns, providing a safe and
effective way to clean and maintain brass instruments. |
HW swabs are made from
a proprietary micro-fiber material that will not shed, shrink, or bleed. Insert
your HW Pad-Saver® into your instrument to instantly wick corrosive
moisture from pads, tone holes, and bore, extending the life of the pads and
saving money on frequent repairs. Your HW Pad-Saver® may be stored inside or outside the
instrument. |
