Untitled by Pelican on the album Australasia proves this beyond all reasonable doubt. Even if you dont like Pelican you should listen to it right now and then agree. You could disagree and tell me what you think is more beautiful but you would be RONG. RONG. Do it anyway if you want but still... RONG

Have you got a proper one or a normal saw?
how much did it cost? do you use a bow? is it difficult to play? can you teach me over the internet for no money down?
I wants one
Lessons from The Me.
1. the crapper a saw is at cutting wood, the better it is at making music. You want a very long, very thin sheet of metal. Be warned- most hardware shops get offended if you ask for their cheapest, crappest saw.
2. you can play with a bow or by hitting it at the appropriate points.
3. it's...pretty difficult. the point at which you bow, or hit, changes depending on which note you're playing, and you normally have to do a lot of glissandoing and adjusting as you go, especially when you're learning. Obviously, there aren't any visual indicators of what note you're playing either, so your relative pitch skills get tested a lot. It's also quite tiring on your left hand and your knee (which you use for vibrato).
4. there are quite a few sites that explain it a bit. have a bit of a google, I'd say.
ta muchly
im going to raid my dads garage and dissapear one of his' preciousses
Singing saws are awesome
but theremins are even better.
waily-noise fail
Check out 'Duet for Lapsteel and Theremin'
they have a myspace page that I can't find at work but they're brilliant
you can do a pretty good emulation of a singings saw or theremin
using a screwdriver as a combined bow/slide on guitar strings, needs abit of gain or compression to boost the volume though
The Black Heart Procession
Oh yes.

completely agree
think there was a thread about the 'best instrument ever' a while back and I nominated this. It just sounds so fucking eerie, almost human.
...
There's an interlude track on 'More Deep Cuts' by Thee More Shallows which features a singing saw. It's great!
Lap Steel
is nicer.
Amiina
do this wonderfully on their album 'Kurr'.
Actually I think THIS is the most beautiful sounding instrument in the world.
