Singende Säge - Musical Saw

 
Is that a REAL saw?
No, it's a musical saw. You can't get in in the building-market.
Is it difficult to play the Musical Saw?
Answer for journalists: Yes, indeed!
Answer for beginning sawplayers: If you know the basics, it's not too difficult, but anyway,
you have to practise...
WHERE can I buy a Musical Saw?
World wide web:
For example at
Pete Wentworth (good quality and good value for money)
or at
Elderly ("Blacklock"-saws in four different sizes, in other respects the same as Pete Wentworth's , but higher in prize)
or at
Pappnase (German saws by Feldmann, expensive)
or at
www.sciemusicale.fr (fancy, very nice sound, not cheap, without teeth)
Where can I learn to play the Musical Saw?
look at "lessons"
How did you get the idea to play the saw?
Inspired by a photograph of  Marlene Dietrich and by the actor Meret Becker in the movie "Kleine Haie" I got interested in the musical saw. In 2001 I decided to take up sawing.
Where can I get a stable case for my Musical Saw?
I can recommend a gun case. (you can get one at the hunter's store)
