The baton is actually pretty nice and well-balanced. However, I didn't even get to use it because......the (included) case is a long, hard plastic tube with a sharp metal brace/tack that sticks through one end (holding a small ring like you'd find on the end of a Swiss Army knife). The tip (small end) of the baton hit the metal from the inside--the baton, then, split in two, going down from the tip.The case should be the kind that opens lengthwise on hinges, not a tube where only one end opens, with hard and sharp surfaces exposed that will damage the baton. Or--add some internal padding to make the case nonlethal to the baton.My suggestion: avoid any of the cheap batons with tube cases.I forgot to take photos before I returned the item to Whole Foods. Returned the very same day it was delivered.

The baton case is great but the actual baton is too long (not standard length).

I know there are different views on the importance of a conductors baton, but I believe that the quality of the baton is crucial for college classes. There's lots of improper technique one could learn if they only expose themselves with heavy batons.This baton is one of those "heavy batons". The length is about 15.5 inches (counting the handle). I would say that this baton is a lot sturdier in built than some Maller Batons I have tried. And it also helps that there's a sturdy red case to make it very portable. Fits right in my bag.I love the handle color since it is green and very comfortable to grip. I tend to have chubby fingers and the handle accommodates them fairly well.I bought this baton as an "emergency baton" to my other more expensive baton. In my experience, $30-40+ Batons tend to weight lighter and hold better balance. That quality alone makes "releases" and other music cues, easier to execute. There's more room for expressiveness and you won't be subtly fighting against gravity to execute a clean count, if you were to buy a more custom made baton fit to your needs as a conductor.Overall, this baton is good for practicing and having in reach. If you lose it, it's very replaceable, affordable, and portable.
