Concert, Pipe Band, and Marching Sticks

Here is a video in which I display my large collection of Pipe Band, Marching and Concert Sticks made over the past 80 years by several manufacturers. Many of these models are of the vintage sort and may not be available new, but you can find them used online from time to time. I talk about each pair of sticks, give you their specs and give you my opinion of them. Most of these sticks are between 5/8” and ¾ “in diameter unless I specifically say otherwise. The order of display is listed below and are connected to the video timeline so if you want to skip to a specific pair, it should be easy. The pad I am using is a vintage metal Ludwig practice pad. You can learn all about it here    • My Favorite Practice Pads   For information on the sticks I make and sell go to www.rickdior.com/sticks.
