Parkstone Musical Saw 30″

Notify me when this product is available

A musical saw. Not your obvious instrument of choice. But if you are looking to take up an instrument with a difference? Then a Parkstone musical saw with a walnut handle could be a great choice. Maybe you are an artisan, artist or craftsman or woman? Then a British made musical saw could be your instrument. The sound is similar to a theremin, ethereal and haunting creating a continuous portamento/glissando tone. Each saw is made exactly as a traditional saw from Thomas Flinn & Co in Yorkshire. But they have some of the teeth taken off at the end so you don't snag your clothes when you play. You hold the handle between the knees and use the bow to create the sound. The beautiful Parkstone Musical Saw 30" with a walnut handle comes in a gold leafed presentation box, with bow, rosin and cheat.

A musical saw would also make an unusual gift that can be treasured for a lifetime. Especially for a cabinet maker, carpenter or artisan maker. Thomas Flinn & Co are the last musical saw manufacturer left in Britain. And did you know that Marlene Dietrich played a mean saw?

Tip from someone who has already purchased: Use plenty of rosin when first playing and it will sing beautifully.

Made in Yorkshire
