PICKBOY BATON PROJECT
"Supporting Music Education, One Baton at a Time"
The PICKBOY BATON PROJECT is a CSR initiative that supports the next generation of conductors and music education through the donation of batons to schools, international competitions, and music organizations. We hope that a small step starting from a single baton will nurture the future of music culture and open new possibilities for young musicians around the world.
So far, it has been utilized in educational institutions both domestically and internationally, as well as in international conductor competitions, allowing many students and young conductors to experience PICKBOY's craftsmanship. We will continue this activity to connect the power of music to the future.

今まで使用していた木製の棒を折ってしまい急ぎで似たようなものを探してこれをチョイスしてみましたが、やはりバランスが好みではありませんでした。グリップが俵型で45mm×20mmだと良かったのですがラインナップになかったのでこれを選んだのですが、やはり長かったのと先端に行くにつれて細くなるティアドロップ形状なので私の手には収まりが悪かった。そしてボトムへヴィーになってしまっているので振り下ろしにくい。このままグリップを少し削って短くして仕舞えば私の手には収まりやすくなりそうです。
やはり道具は手にとって確かめて購入すべきと改めて思いました。
I'm a user from Singapore. Overall, I’m quite pleased with the baton, particularly the cork grip, which feels excellent in the hand and provides a very comfortable hold.
One observation I had is regarding the balance. The balance point is approximately 7 cm from the top end of the cork grip, which feels a little farther forward than I am accustomed to. As a result, I find myself holding the baton slightly higher than usual. This gives it a somewhat different feel from what I had expected, although the baton remains very light and responsive when held at the grip.
I suspect this may simply be a matter of adjustment on my part, and I expect the feel will become more natural with continued use. I just wanted to share this observation as feedback.
