Accordian, guitar and musical saw performance

[jim93527]

Great, ya hold the saw correctly, bow is tight as it can be, rhythm good,Not using an appliance to bend the saw. On the way to be a damn good Sawyer.

Now, clean up the attack screech and the bow buzz and ya have it nailed. I can tell you how!

[sadiedangel]

ahhh this is freaking magical!!!

[kriminalxpunk]

yann tiersen la valse des montres

[hadesofspades]

Fantastic!

[LukeVader77]

So cool!

[Qp0wer]

the musical saw sounds just like a theremin

[Bietel]

@Qp0wer Erm, shall we rephrase that as 'a theremin sounds like an electric saw'? I mean these musical saws were around way before Lev Teremin had his brilliant ideas. I love both instruments, by the way :-)

[TheHitchhikingHippie]

eh.. musical saw. like nails to a chalk board

[sneakyrabbits]

[acordian]

I actually bought a saw today, and tried to make my bow but failed repeatedly until i had nothing left to make it out of XD. now I'm sad cause Its late and I can't play my saw :(

[dudesons441]

you can use a mallet

[acordian]

ya I have since realized that and started using the handle of a kitchen knife for now.... unfortunately it doesn't sound as nice... but it works :)

[dudesons441]

i think bows are like 15 bucks a piece? Im not too sure. Im getting a musical saw for my birthday :D

[acordian]

the cheapest I have found is 25 online i think plus tax... and 35 in a store nearby

[dudesons441]

oh wow. I just checked on musicians friend. They are pretty expensive.

[acordian]

Ya :/ thats why still don't have one yet... I'm a poor man :P I'm still hoping to make one.

[spiralisedcat]

youtube never fails to amaze with with talent like this :)

[dudesons441]

agreed. Without youtube i would not have found half of the music that i listen to

[DarkZekeX]

Sounds kinda like the end of Ommadawn Part 1 by Mike Oldfield :D very beautifully played.

[Childofarctica]

it's the theme from "Amelie" written by Yann Tiersen. And they are jamming around the song " la valse des monstres " ( the Waltz of the Freaks )
