-Stan Leonard, Principal Timpanist, Pittsburgh Symphony (Retired) :
"Carlisle timpani sticks set a
standard of excellence for making music with the timpani. The various models
provide a wide spectrum of tone producing capabilities and are meticulously
hand crafted. I have used Carlisle sticks since their inception and
recommend them highly for the discriminating performer."

Ed Stephan, Principal Timpanist: Fort Worth Symphony
Orchestra:
"For as long as I've been a timpanist I've used Carlisle timpani
sticks. There's simply no other line of sticks available that offers the
variety of tone colors and quality of craftsmanship that Carlisle sticks
do. Knowing the craftsman himself as well as I do, I'm very assured that
every stick that leaves the shop is of the highest quality and beauty.
Beautifully hand crafted from top to bottom, Carlisle sticks inspire one to
play the timpani."

"I have been
using Carlisle timpani sticks for nearly a decade, and it has been a decade
that has had a happy effect on my playing. This is in a very large part due
to the high quality and craftsmanship that Ron puts into his product. I
cannot praise Carlisle Timpani Sticks enough!!
