I chose Material, Won't mark cups, and Durability.

The first two sort of go together. I like wood wands with wood tips rather than metal. Durability is very important if you're doing this on the street and need to bang things a bit to get attention. That's why I'd prefer a tip that's attached via a ferrule or internal pin rather than just a butt joint.

Solid wood. no tips fixed. Hard to beat Gazzos drum stick with black electrical tape. If you can find a really nice heavy hardwood then great. Draftmans rulers from about 80 years ago are fab. Take the hardwood roller off and use that. I have seen them for Five pounds at craft fairs but getting rare now. A bit wide for a wand but good for whacking nutters with.
.

By the way ,I'm spinning orders at present and will get some stock up as soon as poss. Each set I make will have its own paypal button so you will not be able to buy something that has gone from stock.

Also I had a Endoscopy last week and I'll post the pictures of the inner me soon, Turns out I'm healthy but I think I may have found Gazzos wand.

Here's the results I found of a recent Gazzo doctor visit. No wand though.

What a set of balls!  Shocked

Reminds me of the Chinese magicians that used to produce a fish bowl from under their robe.

-------------------------------------------

I like the Gazzo kind of wand. I like the spiral that the black tape gives it.

Of all the wands I have, the one I *use* is the spiral wrapped drumstick.
