hi,

I would just like to point out that my lagerphones, (big and small).. and Alan of Oz's are made from gum trees... but... no trees were harmed in their acquisition... (they had already given themselves up willingly in the interest of music!!).

I think they play very nicely and are controllable. Personally I like something a bit chunkier than a broom handle to hold..... The one I made for the kids is probably about that thickness and they manage it really well.
