Selectable Overall Lengths
Choose from settings ranging from 300 to 450mm. You can check each size in the list below.
Selectable Grips
Choose from grips with different shapes, sizes, and materials. You can compare the dimensions of each grip.
The semi-order for this product is a combination selection from the listed overall lengths and grips. The displayed length refers to the total length of the baton including the grip, not just the shaft alone.
PICKBOY's Commitment to Materials and Balance
Carbon graphite that leverages lightness
The shaft uses Japanese-made carbon graphite. It is a material designed for conductors seeking lightness and clear operability. It is finished as a tool to convey music through hand movements from rehearsal to performance.
Choose by hand, natural material grips
Using premium natural cork from Portugal that fits finely to the hand, heavy ebony wood, and rosewood. Along with shape and dimensions, the texture of the material makes selecting a single piece enjoyable.
Brass end considering the balance near the hand
Custom-made models come standard with a brass "brass end." The weight difference from the usual resin end parts is less than 1g, designed to shift the balance closer to the grip side near the hand.
Balance related to the feel of flicking and control, and the unique shine of brass. A specification that values both usability and appearance.
PICKBOY connected to the world's conducting scenes
The trust in PICKBOY is supported by baton making and connections with conductors and educational settings. Through providing commemorative batons for international conducting competitions and opportunities for trial use at music academies, we support the next generation of musicians.
The Mahler Competition 2026
Participated as a sponsor in the Mahler Conducting Competition held in Bamberg, Germany, providing commemorative batons awarded to the winners.
Besançon International Young Conductor Competition
Cooperated with the 2025 Besançon International Competition for Young Conductors. PICKBOY's batons were adopted as grand prize awards, providing an opportunity to support the challenges of young conductors.
With the cooperation of conductor Toshifumi Kanai, PICKBOY baton samples were introduced in the conducting department at the Liszt Academy of Music. Students were able to actually handle them and check differences in length, weight, and grip.
Please imagine the situations in which you will use it, such as conducting orchestras, wind ensembles, concert bands, or conducting lessons, and choose accordingly. If you have a baton you are currently using, its total length and grip dimensions can serve as a reference for comparison.
Choose the length
Select the overall length based on the points you like or want to change about your current baton. Choose according to your range of motion, conducting style, and personal preference.
Choose the grip
In addition to length and thickness, please check the shape in the product images. The shape that feels comfortable varies depending on hand size and grip style.
Recommended for those who find that the combinations of length and grip comfort in ready-made models do not fit well, those who want to focus on lightness and balance near the hand, and those who want to enjoy the texture of natural materials.

Discover the charm of the conductor's baton and how to choose one through video
For those who want to learn more about choosing a baton. Please also watch this video as a reference for selecting one.
The baton that I received was not what I wanted, and it cost twice as much as the actual cost of the baton itself with shipping and surcharges. I cannot use the baton, and will never order from you again. I will also make sure to tell my colleagues of my disappointment.
