I hand craft each and every Musical Saw in my little shop in Illinois (see photos). The metal I use for this musical Saw delivers a
brilliant tone, strong sustain, great volume, and an amazing 2 1/2 - 3 octave range
!
I punch a hole in the tip of the saw to accommodate my cheat. The cheat allows you to play much more easily without straining your thumb/wrist. Less fatigue means you perform a whole lot better and will be able to play all evening!

Here are the details:
'"Baritone" Musical Saw' (without teeth)
This saw will deliver over 2 1/2 - 3 octaves, strong sustain, and volume. This saw excels in all 4 characteristics used to grade a saw:
Volume
Sustain
Range
Timbre
This is a Baritone with a voice ranging from E above Middle C on up for 2 1/2 - 3 octaves.
Made in our little shop in Illinois (see pictures)
This is a true 'music only' Musical Saw in that it
doesn't have any teeth
. It is designed specifically for music. Additionally, without teeth, it is less likely to snag your pants/skirt/legs. No chance of cutting yourself on the teeth if young ones want to try it out, and when transporting it, overzealous officials are less likely to have an issue with it as a 'weapon'.
'"Brazilwood" Cello Bow'
Brazilwood, round stick, fully-lined ebony frog with Parisian eye, silver button and silver wound (imitation), and genuine horsehair. These premium bows are ideal for musical saws. The inherent firmness delivers the extra pressure needed when playing the musical saw.
Musical Saw Case
Protect your saw/bow with this black vinyl Musical Saw Case. Plus keep all your gear (rosin, Tip Handle, Bow) in one place. Case Comes with vinyl scabbard for your bow and internal pocket for rosin/Tip Handle
Tip Handle (Cheat)
Tip Handles make Saw playing much more pleasurable. No more sore thumbs and wrists, you will be able to play for hours.
Cake of Rosin
nothing fancy - consequently quite cheap! - but guaranteed to meet all your needs for playing the musical saw
Instructions
Set of 7 lessons. Most people learn to play well under a week.
NOTE* The metal I use is the best I could find for music - Unfortunately, it is susceptible to rust/discoloration. There may be a few flecks of discoloration on it when you receive it - and throughout the life of your saw (it will outlive you) you may periodically have to take sandpaper to the spots.
