Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose fiberglass over wood?
Fiberglass is significantly more durable and less prone to snapping than wood. It also remains perfectly straight regardless of humidity, providing a consistent feel for the conductor.

Is the 450mm length right for me?
A 450mm (approx. 18") baton is generally preferred by conductors leading larger ensembles (Symphony Orchestras or large Choirs) where increased visibility from the back of the section is required.

Is the cork grip better than wood or plastic?
Cork is highly favored because it is lightweight and provides a "non-slip" surface. It naturally conforms to the hand over time and is much more comfortable for long-form conducting.
