Conductors Baton

Very nice. Looks like it would fit in the hand nicely!

Nice! Did you have to add some weight to the handle to get a good balance?

No weight added. Added picture showing balance.

You balanced it perfectly. As soon as I get a lathe this is going to be something that I am going to make straight away. (I teach orchestra in high school, and conduct musicals).

Great work

Yep, perfect balance point, right where the baton should be pinched. Now I’m even more impressed!

In my former life as a band director, I usually used fiberglass batons with a bit larger handles (more of a teardrop shape—totally a personal preference), but all had to be perfectly balanced. Anyone who uses one for any length of time understands.
