    Customers like the grip of the musical instruments. They say it has a good grip and feel, is durable, and easy to hold with rubber grips.

    Try Em! You can BEAT em....LOL
    Solid quality and a great product. I have been using the series of Rods from Promark for years, seven to be exact. They work fantastic, great sound and expression in lower dynamic situations. I have always found that the series Rods from Promark brings a tremendous amount of texture in their use. I have been playing professionally for nearly 17 years. They have worked great live, in the studio, or even for a low level practice or rehearsal. I highly recommend this product.
