Serrucho Stradivarius Music

I have been playing the saw for several years & wanted a bass saw for studio work & harmonising / sawchestra sessions. I've tried 2 bass saws by the competitor but sadly they're pretty useless as they're too flexible to control without overtones & harmonics. Stradivarius musical saws are fantastic - I've tried a few & they're comparable to regular Sandvik saws: easy to play & with a lovely rich töne. My advice to starter players is don't buy a 'proper' musical saw until you've mastered the techniques on an old (regular) saw that has cost you next to nothing. Sandviks are best but most saws will be good enough to practice with till you have strength in your hand. You will need a bow (I use a cello bow) & - very importantly - some soft double bass rosin (like Pop's) for the bow strings. Don't scrimp with cheap rosin: it won't work! There are great 'how-to' videos for this wonderfully cheap, fun, underrated & charismatic instrument on youtube. It takes time, patience, a good ear & hand strength to learn but once you have the technique it's a pretty easy instrument to play! This is a 30" saw. I'd recommend starting out with a 22"!

Great!

Far too stiff and heavy, vary difficult to bend and play

Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten (und anschließendem Kurs beim Profi) klingt diese singende Säge super. Bin absolut zufrieden.

I really like this musical saw. Most of the time, I play on regular 26" hardware store (i.e., not exclusively musical) saws. While those regular saws are perfectly playable, this Bahco Stradivarius is worlds apart in terms of range and especially sustain. I like that this saw has teeth (so it still looks like a real saw) but they are not pointed or sharpened. The blade appears to be coated with a layer of clear varnish or polyurethane to protect the steel from oxidation, which is a smart feature. This is a nice looking saw as much as it is a nice playing one. Responding to the earlier reviewer's claim that this saw is too stiff to make the s-bend, that is really not true in my experience of this saw. The problem experienced by the earlier reviewer was probably the newbie mistake of trying to make way too much s-bend (it only takes a very little bit to make the saw play). Perhaps the only drawbacks to this saw are that it does not include any accessories, especially a case (the comparable Wentworth baritone musical saw is available in a package deal that includes the saw, case, bow, bow case, rosin, and cheat) and there is not a nail hole in the narrow end, making it tough to attach a standard cheat to this saw.

dopo aver provato a suonare diversi modelli di seghe da falegname con questa Stradivarius ho fatto un bel salto qualitativo. Il suono si ottiene con maggior facilità ed è eccellente. Peccato che non sia previsto un buco per una manopola (impossibile bucarlo perché temperato). Quindi bisogna trovare un accessorio adeguato o costruirselo come ho fatto io.

c'était une excellente scie pour ce prix. le côté de la lame est un peu dangereux et cela peut fonctionner comme une vraie scie. je l'ai amené dans un atelier de métal et j'ai coupé le côté de la lame et après je l'aime tellement. j'aime le son et c'est parfait pour le prix

最初弓で音がでなかったので、バチで音を出していた、今は弓で音が出るようになったので、練習中です。
