Finally, I have a set of Okito-Nielsen Chinese Sticks not just the Millward-Nielsen ones that were built by George Millward and decorated by Norm Nielsen that are featured here. From the outside it is difficult to tell them apart – the Okito-Nielsen ones are a little bit darker, have yellow not red tassels, are a little longer, and have Okito-Nielsen stamped on them, but at a glance they look basically the same. I’ve included a couple of photos of both sets so you can see them side to side. But the real difference is when you use them – then the difference is very clear. Norm’s are much smoother and quieter which is why his sticks are seen as one of the best Chinese Sticks available today – and rightly so, they look beautifully and operate incredibly smoothly. You’d be hard pushed to find a better set of Chinese Sticks.
