Question What baton would you recommend for large concert band/orchestral conducting?
I'm currently using a Mollard "Encore" Series, 14 inches.
Answer Hi, thanks for writing. That baton should be fine, as long as that length is clearly visible to the back of the band/orchestra. Otherwise, you might get a slightly longer one. Ask about the visibility from your band members on the back row. Write anytime.
