How fun! I suggest everyone watching the video.. it's really cool. We've had a few Saw players at showcases in the past. One in Central Illinois Showcase and one in Portland, OR showcase I remember. Have you played one of our showcases Natalia?
Great job in the video by the way! Could you play that well on a saw bought right off the shelf of a hardware store?

Hi Brian, I haven't as yet played at any showcase  A saw bought from a hardware store is limited in range - usually no more than 2 octaves (more often only an octave and a 1/2). It's fine for simple songs, but for more elaborate compositions a musical saw is much better. Thank you for your kind words about the video!!! All the best, Natalia
