These are sticks for those who want the lightest wooden sticks on the market, and who want a wooden alternative to the more modern carbon sticks.
Due to the properties of the balsa wood, these pins have somewhat more air resistance than lightweight batons of modern materials as karbon. This gives life to the baton.
As a result of the great strength and stiffness to weight ratio in the choosen balsa wood, theese balsa batons can withstand any movement it undergoes during normal conducting without too much quivering.
The balsa shaft and cork konb is handcrafted to balance in or near the conjunction.
No extra weights are added to achieve this.
All parts are made by hand

Each piece of wood from a tree carries its own qualities.
An instrument builder carefully chooses his materials for his guitars and violins.
I carefully select my pieces of wood, considering their weight and stiffness.
With the right choice of these properties, I can create batons that are super light, suitably rigid and that feels alive.
My batons balance just off the limit of how thin and light balsabatons can be without breaking during action.
To achieve this, all the batons are handmade down to the smallest detail.
The batons are a bit more vulnerable than batons in other materials, but can last for years if handled with love.
If You are looking for a durable and everlasting baton, I would recommend You to choose batons in materials other than balsa.
If You are looking for a super light conducting baton that feels alive, then try the Light Weight Balsa Baton.

The work on the conducting batons has given me new insights into the properties of wood.
New insight into details that matter.
