Rohema Baton "Smetana"

Last week, as I was running to catch the tram in Brussels, that would take me to my rehearsal, I lost my Rohema "Bruch" wich is very similar to this one, excepted for the grip (cork instead of rosewood).

Length is the same and Bruch is a bit lighter, but I found the Smetana is better balanced and has a swifter response to my gestures. Rosewood handle also sticks less to the hand, making it easier to change position.

Price is really reasonnable too, I think I shall order 2-3 more of them, just in case!

It gives very good feeling, light and perfectly balanced

This baton is well made, and very light-weight, with a comfortable handle. I recommend it primarily for smaller ensembles or for more light, classical repertoire.
