What do orchestra drummers and bakers have in common? Vic Firth tools of course! Vic Firth was a timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly fifty years. For the past thirty-five years he has turned his attention to manufacturing the finest drumstick in the world. In keeping with his exacting standards, the same woodturning expertise is now being employed to produce peppermills and salt mills of the highest quality. More recently he has turned his attention to rolling pins. This lightweight cylinder is popular among chefs as an all-purpose tool. It's ideal for small jobs, such as rolling out individual pastry squares, or creamed cookie dough. Its small diameter keeps hands close to the dough for detailed work.
