Product Description
What doorchestra 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 pin is the preferred tool for chefs when it comes to rolling out thin pie crusts. It's tapered from the middle out to both ends, allowing easy rotation of the pin around the dough for rolling out perfect circles.
Amazon.com Review
Rolling out proper pie crusts that are both tender and flaky is a snap with this pin. Tapered from the middle to both ends, it rolls out dough thinly by pushing it from the middle. And it rotates easily around the dough for making perfect circles--a virtue for pizzas, also. It's unfinished so that, over time, flour penetrates the wood's pores--making the pin less sticky than finished pins. --Fred Brack

 Long and tapered rolling pin May 23, 2009

This is a good quality rolling pin for smaller tasks, such as making dumplings, tortillas, etc.
 Rolling Pin May 8, 2009
D. Brooks (Minneapolis, MN)
I love this rolling pin, I use it for so many things; rolling out pastry, pizza dough, smashing almonds, walnuts. The possibilities are endless.
Does the job! May 5, 2009
Dana (Mountain View, CA)
This rolling pin is much better than the traditional large cylinder type. It is lighter and allows for more even rolling of the dough due to the shape. With the middle being thicker, it helps to push the dough out toward the edges and the tapered ends even out the thickness.
Favorite Style April 14, 2009
B. A. Steele (Ozarks, USA)
The Vic Firth French Rolling Pin quickly became my favorite tool for rolling out doughs, especially pie crusts.
For more than 40 years, I used a standard style pin with ball bearings and hand-holds on each end. The Vic Firth rolling pin is lighter and easier to handle; making it faster to turn out the exact thickness of dough needed. Why did I not purchase one sooner??????????
A wonderful deal! March 22, 2009
Bryan C. Dickinson (Berkeley, CA)
This rolling pin is very well-made and feels great to use. Vic Firth wood working is top of the line, and this is another example. This rolling pin works well for making pizza crusts, french bread, almost anything. Highly recommended!
