The Swipe kit is a complete stringed instrument care system. It not only maintains the brilliance of your strings by easily getting to the place where most of the dirt and deposits collect - the underside of the strings - it also provides a hi-tech high quality microfibre polishing cloth to keep your instrument gleaming.
Swipe cleaning residue under instrument stringsResidues dramatically alter the tone and feel of an instrument. Grime builds up on the surface of strings, and gunk gets ingrained between the windings of strings and alters the brightness and tonal clarity - dulling your sound. Residue affects elasticity of a string and in the areas most played strings can become brittle and more difficult to bend. The Swipe removes harmful residues, leaving nothing behind.
Swipe cleaning prevents corrosion under instrument stringsAcidic sweat and dirt left behind by your fingers corrode your strings, and even penetrate the protective layer on 'Coated strings'. Shiny new strings become not only difficult to play but also weaker and more prone to breaking if left un-cleaned. The Swipe saves you money and time on replacing new strings and ensures that your current strings sound and feel better for longer.
You will notice the difference!
Dirty strings cause significant damage to your frets and fingerboard. The action of string bending combined with the abrasive grime of fine metal particles and dirt on the underside of your strings results in a grinding action which wears away at your frets and fingerboard. The Swipe is the only product that can effectively remove these damaging deposits from the underside of your strings along their entire length.
Swipe slides under guitar stringsdon’t get underneath or round strings properly without slackening or awkward threading between strings and fretboard. Material isn’t optimized for removing residue, sweat and chemials. Leaves bobbly bits of fluff behind on the windings.
leave behind an oily film which is pushed to the underside of the string adding to the overall residue. Sink into string windings deadening the tone. May well nourish your fingerboard, but a layer of oil on your strings will negatively affect your sound. Some contain chemicals which can damage an instruments lacquer.
Swipe cleaning under guitar stringsclunky gadget cleaners can’t clean strings from the first fret to last without stretching strings and damaging frets and fingerboard. Can only be used on one type of instrument eg one product for acoustic guitar, another for bass and currently nothing for violins, violas cellos etc. Bulky and not easy to carry around with you.
