Dan Dare Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Musical saws used to be popular in music hall/variety days. A number of companies made them (a pal has a Sandvik 'Stradivarius'). They are usually thinner than standard wood working saws, so you can put the slight 'S' bend into them that you need to produce the sound. You play them with a cello bow. See: Quote
anzoid Posted May 4, 2018 Author Posted May 4, 2018 OK, that is just awesome... I think I want one, and the price has dropped to nearer £30. Still wonder why it ended up under "Bass Guitars" - way too high pitched Quote
anzoid Posted May 4, 2018 Author Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Then there's this one: Looks like she has a bass saw leaning up against the table!!! Edited May 4, 2018 by anzoid Quote
josie Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 A folk duo once turned up at my local om and played guitar and saw duets. The sound was strikingly, hauntingly beautiful. I've heard similar effects in some electronic music, but with nothing like the resonance and impact of a real physical instrument in a small room. Must be harder to do than it looks, though. Quote
