  • a glissando is a "slide" on any instrument.

  • wow, ownertonyro, why such a hater? Is Austin Blackburn the only person who os allowed to play the saw? I think it's a free country, anyone is allowed to.

  • Thanks to this great teacher, I learned to play beautiful music in my saw. Salutes from Puerto Rico.

  • Somebody should take that saw and cut your head. You absolutely sucks! You just copy the mastersaw AustinBlackburn.

  • @jerryjenkins

    yes, it dammage the hair; im using cheap bow for playing saw and i change them after few mounths.

  • @Dkzdrood portamento is the sliding or gliding between notes

  • where can I buy a Musical Saw ???

    thank you!

  • I have played the cello throughout my life and am using an expensive bow. Does playing the saw damage the hair? Should I purchase a cheap bow? I have to say that when I first purchased my saw I tried playing it like a cello and and was shaving off pieces of hair...until I watched your videos. Hahahaha.

  • what's portamento? que? :P

  • Watch "That 1 Guy" videos, It'll amaze you. He plays a saw, a boot, and also an instrument he invented called The Magic Pipe. The best live show I've ever seen! No joke!
