Appearance gets a 5. The wood handle is laqcuered, the tassels are very nice and visible. They did
not work for me because I work primarily in a hospital. The wood handle made the "gimmick" slide
within the handle very loud. For close up presentation it was obvious something was moving pulling
the string up. In addition, it was too long to fit into my carrying case.
For a stage
performance they would be great!
