Here at Music Works Custom Batons each conductors' baton are made individually. Handles are turned one at a time made from domestic and exotic woods making each one unique. A conducting baton that you will want for years takes time to make. It has been a journey to find what works best for a baton that I would use. Even during rehearsal I could never use an inexpensive stick. They just don't feel right. I hope that you like what I have made as much as I like them. Well some better than others.
