What is the name of the tip of a conductors baton?

Answer 1

The tip of a conductor's baton is called the "tip" or "point." It is typically made of a hard material such as wood, metal, or carbon fiber to ensure precision and clarity in conducting gestures. The tip plays a crucial role in communicating the conductor's direction and intent to the musicians, guiding the tempo, dynamics, and phrasing of the music being performed.

To make their movements more visible to the players, and more focused. Not all conductors choose to use a baton, however.

The baton is "an extension of the arm" and makes his/her movements more visible to the players.
