Have been asked quite a lot by people how to play the musical saw, so I thought id film a little tutorial now that I have video-making tools!
Hope this answers some questions!

  • Just bought a saw myself, same make, I chose the 30" saw and it should be arriving in the next few days, was wondering if you could tell me more, or make a video, about playing the saw with a Mallet, it's something I see frequently mentioned, but am unsure of, will any mallet do? or is it just something percussive to hit it with?

  • @TheReverendPanic Hello! I have played the saw with a mallet before, yes, but I don't actually own one as Im more of a bow fan to be honest! A mallet is literally a stick with a rubber end, that you use to hit the saw where you would normally bow for a slightly more percussive sound. Good luck! xo

  • Hiya, glad to hear youve started playing the saw! Do let me know if my tutorial is any help, or if there are things I could elaborate on...would be happy to add more tips!

  • I just bought my first saw and I was wondering: when I pull the bow across "sweet spot" on the saw I get this high-pitched screeching noise before I get the soft resonance. Is this normal? Or am I just doing it wrong? It's hard to tell in the videos :) Thank you! Your tutorial was very helpful!

  • THANKS FOR THE VIDEO LOVE, ITS GOOD !

  • Hey I have the same saw, Great Saw !

  • Great job!

  • Hey! I'm from argentina (that's why my english may be not very good). I've recently (today, exactly) bought an 65cm saw for playing. I have no idea how to play it, so I expect your tutorial can help me. I havent bought my bow yet, so I'm just practicing with my nails. I'm finding it kinda hard to bend, I hope it's my technique, and not the saw itself
