Laminated birch
The sticks use laminated birch construction for the stated weight, control, and responsiveness.

Independent shopping perspective
Designed for Vic Firth’s Symphonic Collection with Matt Howard, these concert sticks use laminated birch for weight, control, and a responsive feel. Their swoop taper and larger round wood tip are designed to improve bounce with little effort. In practice, that supports a soft grip and quick, nimble response, particularly when working at soft orchestral dynamics.
