Need a stick?

Alan Pierce, who recently retired after playing 45 years in the brass section of the Oregon Symphony, makes terrific custom-made batons. (I just purchased one as a gift for a friend of mine.) Some of the conductors who have wielded Pierce's sticks are Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Muti, Itzak Pearlman, James DePreist, Carlos Kalmar, Murry Sidlin, and James Paul. Check out the Pierce Batons web site for more information.
