MUSICAL SAW

The musical saw is an American folk music instrument with its roots originating in the early 19th century. Somewhere in the Appalachian mountains an unknown and inquisitive musician first took a fiddle bow to the bent blade of his hand saw which he held firmly clamped between his knees. What probably began in a moment inspired by curiosity soon caught on and before long mountain music bands throughout the area had a member manipulating the blade of a common carpenter's saw and stroking it with a well rosined bow... With over 100 years under our belt, Mussehl Westphal continues to provide the world with the highest quality musical saws.
