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

 Perfect for pie dough October 13, 2008
This rolling pin is a great addition to my baking tools. It makes rolling out pie dough a snap. It is so easy to maneuver and gives you better control than a standard rolling pin.
Bakery pin: perfect for everyone October 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
On the current Amazon page, three Vic Firth rolling pin models are listed together -- this review is for the bakery pin, which is about 20" long and of uniform width, without separate handles.
I wanted to mention one thing explicitly that I hadn't seen in other reviews -- this is a great rolling pin for all hand sizes and strengths. If you have arthritis or a hard time gripping handles, this rolls nicely under the palm & fingers with plenty of room for your 12" dough in between. If you have large hands, the wide ends are much more comfortable to hold than the narrow, tapered ends of a French pin. Kids can get leverage on it, since there's no spinning handle axle or specialized technique required. Everyone in my family can use this rolling pin and get excellent results. That, to me, is a terrific feature.
And yes, like everyone else has said, it provides great control, is effortless to maneuver, and really attractive. It's easy to clean, and needs no more attention than your butcher block; just condition with a little oil occasionally, and don't soak it in water for long periods of time.
 Good French Rolling Pin August 3, 2008
If you like French Rolling Pins, this one is pretty good. It arrived quickly and is exactly what I expected.
Excellent basic pin July 6, 2008
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!
not a drumstick for sure July 4, 2008
freaks me out a little that Vic Firth makes drumsticks and rolling pins. Bakers swear by it and, so do I!
