Roberts & Lee Parkstone Musical Saws-20", 26" & 30"

The Parkstone Melody Saws are available in three sizes: 22″, 26″, and 30″. They are crafted from fully ground carbon steel 80, which offers the necessary flexibility for musical play. These saws, designed specifically for creating music, can be played using a bow while being held between the knees. Although they have teeth, they are not sharpened or set as they would be on a traditional woodcutting saw. Additionally, about 4 inches of teeth are removed from the lower end to prevent them from catching on clothing while playing.

Developed with the guidance of Charles Hindmarsh, known as the Yorkshire Musical Saw Player, this range caters to both beginners and advanced players with various budgets.

Here’s a breakdown of the sizes:

• 22″: A soprano saw, ideal for children or beginners.
• 26″: An alto saw with a range from A (below middle C) to top C. This is the top seller.
• 30″: A bass saw, capable of two and a half octaves, ranging from bottom F to top A.

The length of the saw influences the depth of the sound produced.

These saws can be played with any bow, and we offer standard violin bows as an accessory. We also provide a “cheat,” a wooden attachment that helps bend the blade and makes playing more comfortable by reducing thumb strain during extended use.

This musical saw makes a unique and thoughtful gift for anyone with a musical inclination or those looking to try something new and different!

Please note: a bow, “cleat” or rosin are not included with the saw, but are available as a separate purchase or in one of the kits.
