Kat, thanks for the kind words. The saw I always loved was the one made for me by Clarence Mussehl (Mussehl and Westphal Musical Saw Co,) At: W0626 Beech Drive-East Troy, Wisconsin--53120------414-642-3649--- Steve and Mary Kay Dawson run the place now.

Their 28-inch saw is they most musically accessible (easy to get good results from) that I've ever seen. MUCH more flexable than the Sandvik Strad.
