I started Artistry Batons out of my home workshop as a way to stay connected to the music community. I do not consider these batons a music accessory but rather a fine instrument that is an essential part of the conductor's musical expression.

All conducting batons are handmade by myself without the use of jigs or other types of duplication tools. I produce only wooden batons at this time. Both the handle and shaft are made from exotic and domestic hardwoods. I take great pride in my work and only release the best instruments I can produce. Batons are custom made and may be ordered and paid for online. I currently prefer to focus only on the creation of conducting instruments, so I do not produce cases or other accessories at this time.

I thank all those who have purchased my instruments and welcome comments and/or suggestions about my conducting batons and site. Please feel free to contact me using the links at the bottom of each page.
