Testimonials

"Manny makes the finest baton cases I’ve ever seen. Recently, I requested a special two-tone, black and tan case—the “Beethoven” model on his website, named after one of my two beloved dogs—and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Manny checked in with me throughout the process, and the case arrived quickly. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship are beyond compare. This is actually the second case I have ordered from Manny. Several years ago, he made a tan case for my fiancee, which has aged beautifully—she still loves it. I am happy to give Manny my highest recommendation, and encourage my colleagues to invest in his incredible work. Thank you, Manny!" -Dr. Ian Passmore, Board of Directors, International Conductors Guild, Former Associate Conductor, Omaha Symphony, http://ianconducts.com


"Beautiful leather work, high quality materials, innovative design, customizable: a real work of art! The last baton case you will ever need or want." -Eric Rombach-Kendall, Director of Bands at the University of New Mexico


"Unparalleled in custom satisfaction! I was in a bind (flying internationally for a job) when my baton case broke in half. Manuel was professional and exceeded my expectations in a prompt delivery of the product. The baton case was exactly what I was looking for. Most cases are overt bulky (for protection) or too dainty (for look). Camacho’s baton case was the right balance of the two. The craftsmanship speaks for itself." -Matthew Visk, Musicals Conductor in CA and former Drum Major for the UCLA Bruin Marching Band


"Needless to say, your conductor’s pouch was a hit! Rarely do we get to see so much emotion from our conductor, but it was evident that night! Everyone was really impressed with the fine craftsmanship and that you are a conductor yourself! Again, thank you so much for your efforts in getting to Iowa so quickly.

Warm Regards, Aniqa Prouse" - with the Northern Iowa Youth Orchestra
