Everything You Love About a 5A — With a Barrel Tip for Supreme Clarity.
Barrel tip, supreme clarity
The classic 5A design with a proportionately perfect barrel-shaped tip: an impeccably balanced stick creating supreme clarity with beautiful tone.
A tip shaped for the 5A
Rather than one barrel shape for every model, each tip was designed individually, reshaping the teardrop into something musical for that particular stick.
The 5A you know
Everything else is the American Classic 5A: 0.565 inches in diameter, 16 inches long, with a medium taper.
Select hickory
Crafted from select hickory for a pronounced sound and long-lasting durability.
The Perfect Pair
Every pair is guaranteed straight, weight matched and tone paired, so both sticks feel and sound alike.
