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

4 out of 5 stars Good French Rolling Pin   August 3, 2008
Ashley E. Meece (College Park, Md United States)
If you like French Rolling Pins, this one is pretty good. It arrived quickly and is exactly what I expected.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent basic pin   July 6, 2008
A. Sellers (Rockville, MD USA)
I've been looking for a basic french rolling pin and this was the answer. Small and light, unlike my heavy, old rolling pin with metal in the center that kept rusting.

Perfect for my pie crusts!



5 out of 5 stars not a drumstick for sure   July 4, 2008
K. Terry (KY)
freaks me out a little that Vic Firth makes drumsticks and rolling pins. Bakers swear by it and, so do I!


5 out of 5 stars Awesome rolling pin   May 25, 2008
ougirlee (Oklahoma)
Buy it! I bought this in January and can now make fantastic pizza dough and pie crust easily. This is the secret to all things in the kitchen that must be rolled out very thin. Absolutely love it!


2 out of 5 stars A little short for the job   May 9, 2008
Joseph M. Williams (san diego, CA USA)
It is a little small to work any dough of consequence. It works well if you are working with a very small dough. This might be a pin to have if you are developing quiver of rolling pins. I bought the OXO rolling pin with the handles. I like that much better
