Product Review

Vic Firth was a timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra for nearly fifty years. During the last thirty-five years he has turned his attention to manufacturing the finest drumstick in the world. In keeping with his exacting standards, the same woodturning expertise is now being employed to produce peppermills and salt mills of the highest quality. This model brings the warm glow and fine-grained texture of cherry to your table.

This handcrafted, solid cherry pepper grinder was created by Vic Firth, a renowned drumstick designer, to fit your hand as comfortably as a musical instrument. With its special locking crown nut, it can be adjusted for either a fine or coarse grind, depending on your taste. The lovely cherry gives it a sculptural look, making it a handsome addition to your table or spice rack. --Shannon Borg

Solid construction, but adjustment could use work, January 4, 2007

Matthew Volkar (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vic Firth FED08PM11 8-Inch Pepper Mill, Cherry (Kitchen)

This pepper mill is well made with solid cherry construction and is very attractive to display. It grinds well and is relatively easy to refill, but I am bit disappointed with the method of adjusting the grind. The way this works is by turning the small metal nut at the top of the mill. Tightening the nut makes for a finer grind, loosening it coarser.

The problem is that the nut tends to slip during use and the grind gradually changes. I find that I have to keep adjusting it to maintain any kind of consistency to the grind. The bottom of the nut has ridges on it which are supposed to lock into a ridged plastic piece in the wooden cap, but it doesn't really seem to work as well as I had hoped.

Well made. Works GREAT. Received very quickly. Worth the money (so far). Only complaint is the finish (color) of the salt and pepper mills were a little off (though helps at quick glance to ensure you grab the right one while cooking ;-).

I love ground pepper and was very upset when my favorite pepper mill broke. This pepper mill is a very good size (not too tall) and fits well in your hand. The wood is finished nicely, and the grind adjustment is easy and lets you adjust it as you like. I've had it for a couple of months now and still really like it.
