Strange Musical Instruments

The Musical Saw is not so Unusual After All!
While the musical saw may seem a bit strange to some, to folk music lovers, it’s not at all unusual. In fact, during the vaudeville era as many as 25,000 saws per year were sold. What started as musicians playing ordinary carpenter’s saws has certainly evolved. Today the musical saw is manufactured especially for musicians. There are bass saws, tenor saws, baritone saws and even a prized gold-plated musical saw.
