How about the musical saw??




A very cheap instrument, ideal for wider ops. May have problems with health and safety but well worth clicking on the picture of the book to read about its merits!. ( not very good at scanning things straight!)

What year is this from?
I'm surprised to read it says the saw is not a serious musical instrument... here in NYC we have an annual musical saw festival which features serious saw players every year.
To hear some serious saw playing I recommend www.SawLady.com
By the way - did you ever compose for the saw?

Thankyou for your post!!. The book was first published in 1940 (see previous post).
We rarely hear the saw played in England now. Your website is fascinating, and a real eye opener. I will do a post about it .thankyou again.
