So I just started playing the saw two days ago and I'm just about as good now as when I started. I'm using my old bass bow and a really rusty saw so things don't come out too well but it's all I've got so far. I'm starting to figure out how to control it to produce the desired sound.
Hold it with your right hand finger tips under the end, and only your thumb touching the top surface about an inch or so from the tip. Also, the vibrato is gotton from the right leg, not the hand. Otherwise, you have the idea. Keep at it.
