Small handsaw i picked up at the market for a couple of Euro's. Printed on the wooden handle, in a wonderful letter type i might add, is 'Duifje', meaning 'Little Dove', a common Dutch pet name for a sweetheart.

I've never heard two Singing Saws played in harmony. I wonder if Marko would like to learn to play the saw?
And lastly, visit Bad Axe Tool Works for some Vintage Hand Saw Goodness.

Check out track number 3 on this album - two saws playing together:

Oh yes, that's right. Natalia does two-part sawing. I forgot about that. Thanks for the link! I've also seen that she does workshops with like 50 saw players together. That she still has her hearing is a miracle. : )
aaw, Duifje is a sweet one. Can you play on any saw? I always thought you needed a tall bendy one.
Hi Heidi, In principle you could play on about any saw but the long bendy ones sustain the note more beautifully.
Wow! Sounds like a theremin!
Hi Andy! Oooo, a Theremin! I'd love to try one of those.
we totally have to try again when we will meet!!!
