“For a conductor, a baton is such a personal and important issue that it is often difficult to find the perfect one incorporating all of the components you desire. I found that in PaGu Batons, the combination of lightness, strength and particularly balance are perfect – the first time I have ever been able to say this. I strongly recommend that my colleagues try PaGu Batons, handmade to their needs and specifications.”

“The new super stick batons from PaGu Batons were
outstanding. They gave me even more control than the standard ones, which is
saying something. There’s equal balance in fast and slow tempi with the
flexibility to show phrases with ease. I can’t say enough about the quality of
these new batons from PaGu Batons.”
"PaGu batons have a design and feel that is a dream for a conductor. It facilitates music making at the highest level."
Sean O'Loughlin
Principal Pops Conductor of Symphoria
“Yes, you can conduct without a baton, but his is because you want your hand to be really connected to your musical thinking…and a perfectly crafted baton is an extension of your hand.” “Thanks Phil, you really did the magic, and I adore what I got… no comparison to any other manufacturer in the world…”
Marco Ossani

“PaGu Batons has proven itself to be a reliable company that definitely won't disappoint. The Class of 2010 ordered a personalized baton for our band director, and we were not disappointed! PaGu Batons sent us a high quality, well-balanced baton that we feel was worth every penny. Not only was the product beautifully made, but the customer service was excellent! PaGu contacted us not only to make sure we were happy with the ordering process, but to offer to get the product to us quickly if we needed it. We needed it only two weeks later, and the baton was shipped quickly in a tight, very tough and well packed tube. With lots of wonderful options, beautiful products, and great customer service, PaGu Batons is definitely worth it! Thank you for this wonderful experience!;”
