My thanks to Eivind

"Thanks to Mr. Aadland's expert craftsmanship, I have found my ideal baton after many years of searching. His balsa wood baton marries to a high degree both form and function."


"Without hesitation, I fully recommend Mr. Aadland's product".


My thanks to Samuel

Over the past year, Mr. Samuel Tam has inspired me to research on the treatment of shafts, and the shapes and sizes of the knobs. I have discovered several interesting and significant details in the design of the knob that are important for the handling of the conducting baton. Mr. Samuel is a appriciated supporter and helps me to put into words these small but important aspects.

We are still collaborating on further development of the product."

Total length: 350-360 mm

diameter knob: 25mm.

"The baton was made perfectly according to my specifications, but the finished result exceeded my expectations. The baton is amazingly well crafted.


The weight and balance is top notch, but the feeling in my hand is hard to describe.

This baton has a real feeling of ‘flow’, and it enhances my technique.


I highly recommend Per Helge’s batons" 

 



My thanks to Philip

Philip has visited me twice to get the right sticks. I generally greatly appreciate such meetings with customers. Philip generously shares his experiences as a conductor. He thereby expands the breadth of my knowledge of what can make a difference by a stick. I also really appreciate his comments on the various sticks he tried during the stick test.

" I have now used your baton exclusively for all rehearsals and a couple recording sessions since receiving it.

What I find with your batons is that although they are incredibly light they still feel expressive and it is easy to connect with the sound.

For me they are just right. 


Again thank you for the great work. I am very impressed!"
