On my unique melody mage i have a dried piece of wax i guess dropped down in my sound bore and i cant get it out. The mage has two small bores merged into one bigger 1mm bore. I clean them everytime i use them i guess i missed a piece though. Now its down through the bigger bore and into one of the smaller ones, any idea how to get it out? I tried a plastic toothpick but with no luck im afraid ill just get it even more stuck down in there.
Any ideas?

Maybe try a needle and a slow hand?

Suck it out.

Just kidding. Try using a really tiny brush or a needle.

im about to try a needle im just afraid its going to stuff it further down in there. If that doesnt work im gonna try heating the end just a little with a lighter.

If the cleaning tool can't reach it, try bending the end of a small paper clip into a hook. See how that works.

Ear wax will melt at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Even some nasty fevers in children can result in melted wax. But if you use the lighter, be careful not to melt the acrylic housing.

I finally got it i had to bend a needle a certain way to knock it loose and tapped the end very gingerly and it fell out finally. That was tough lol.
Yeah i was just gonna heat the needle up with a lighter till it was just past warm so it would stick in the wax easier.
