Subject: RE: Musical saw. How do I make/play one?
Hey, howdy,

In my experience, the Sandvig is just too stiff and too long. The most playable saw I haver found is the 28 inch one oruginally made by Clarence Mussehl in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. (not the 26 inch saw) It is still available from MUSSEHL AND WESTPHAL (I think/hope). Last I heard they were in East Troy, Wisconsin. 414-642-3649 W0626 Beech Drive---East Troy, WI 53120 Put Mussehl and Westphal into a search engine and it should pop up. (The biz is now owned and run by Steve and Mary Kay Dawson.)

It's great fun to hide in the bushes at Halloween time and make spooky noises on your saw...!!!
