Talk:Musical saw

bands

I'm going ahead and adding a couple of bands that use musical saws. Each of these bands, while not extremely well-known, is notable enough for their own article, so I think it'll be ok. If anyone objects, feel free to delete them from the article, I won't sqwauk. ~ Torgo 18:11, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd like you to note too, that there are two long parts of saw playing in background in the top-five-oscars-winner movie : Fly over a cuccoo's nest, with Jack Nicholson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.18.19.12 (talk) 15:19, 23 April 2007

Julian Koster

re: "Julian Koster of Neutral Milk Hotel played the singing saw, along with various other instruments, in the band. He is now rumored to be start a singing saw orchestra." should rumors be listed? seems unencyclopedic — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.15.95.101 (talk) 19:26, 11 September 2007

Additional citations

Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth (talk) 05:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Events, championships and world records

As there has been a world championship in 2011 I added it and also included it in the title of this section. Sägenprofi (talk) 00:11, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Performers

Marlene Dietrich is worth an extra section, so I added a little section about her and her saw playing. I also added two other saw players and gave some titles to reference links, which hadn't a title yet. Sägenprofi (talk) 00:14, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Composers and compositions

I added many composers and compositions and also changed the title of this section from "Compositions" to "Composers and compositions" Sägenprofi (talk) 00:17, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Missing clause: standing sawists

"Some sawists play standing, either with the handle between the knees and the blade sticking out in front of them."

Dangers

Isn't it easy to injure yourself while playing? Shouldn't be something written about this aspect? --2001:16B8:31EC:800:AC3D:29AE:958C:EEC1 (talk) 18:44, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

No. The only risk I've noticed has been to my self-esteem, as an experienced violin/viola player trying to draw a predictable musical tone from a saw blade. Just plain Bill (talk) 19:07, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

History

Is it worth including the origins of the musical saw? I’m not knowledgable about this, I just saw the history section was quite light Alexanderkowal (talk) 23:54, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
