Music Conductor Batons,Imitation Agate Handle Orchestra Conducting Baton Music Batons (Green)

I know there are different views on the importance of a conductors baton, but I believe that the quality of the baton is crucial for college classes. There's lots of improper technique one could learn if they only expose themselves with heavy batons.This baton is one of those "heavy batons". The length is about 15.5 inches (counting the handle). I would say that this baton is a lot sturdier in built than some Maller Batons I have tried. And it also helps that there's a sturdy red case to make it very portable. Fits right in my bag.I love the handle color since it is green and very comfortable to grip. I tend to have chubby fingers and the handle accommodates them fairly well.I bought this baton as an "emergency baton" to my other more expensive baton. In my experience, $30-40+ Batons tend to weight lighter and hold better balance. That quality alone makes "releases" and other music cues, easier to execute. There's more room for expressiveness and you won't be subtly fighting against gravity to execute a clean count, if you were to buy a more custom made baton fit to your needs as a conductor.Overall, this baton is good for practicing and having in reach. If you lose it, it's very replaceable, affordable, and portable.

I bought two of these for my daughter as a graduation present, for graduating with her Bachelor in Music Education degree, and she’s now going to her first job as an Assistant Band Director! She used these while she was student teaching and conducting her Middle School and HS bands and the Jazz band concerts and she loves them!! She said there’s absolutely NO “cons” she has (and she’s pretty picky) and that these are “well balanced and durable”— and the balance issue was a huge deal for me when I was looking to purchase her a baton because she’d already told me the one she had, wasn’t well balanced and it was an issue. Not being a music major myself, I really wanted to make sure that I purchased her a baton that was up to her standards and this one was a big hit!!! I’ll definitely get her more in different colors!

This could be the magic wand you've been looking for at a great price. Excellent construction, sturdy, not warped, length is just right. I'm a retired band and orchestra conductor and have a $65 baton that compares to this very modestly-priced find very favorably! I gave one to my successor at the high school and she claims it's magic: the kids respond so well. If you're teaching conducting, get this for your students. Use it every day with your band or orchestra...

I'm a middle school band director. I needed a baton that was well balanced and comfortable but that would be easily replaceable if anything happened to it. This baton exceeded all expectations. Just as nice as a Mollard, just without the name brand markup.

Well made and feels comfortable. Light weight baton with smooth handle that fits comfortably in fingertips. I have actually purchased two batons with one as a backup (they are fiberglass so won't break....might be misplaced.....or I could share one with another director). Don't expect I'll ever need to purchase another baton..... Highly recommended! Seller shipped promptly!

My son needed a baton for conducting class, he likes it and has gotten compliments.

Purchase md for my son’s College class, worked well

It's a good baton--not the best on the market, but the quality is excellent for the price. The green color is really cool and I've received a lot of compliments on it. I'd purchase this brand again.
