Musical Saw

I decided while watching the Portland band, Musee Mechanique play a few weeks ago, I wanted to play the musical saw. I don't know anyone that plays it in Boise AND I don't have to memorize chords and hand positions, etc. I use my ear to determine what will sound amazing with what is being played and what is coming from the saw.

it doesn't cost all that much either....

    Hope to see you there!
