re: Does anyone play the saw?

Saw my Grandfather take the saw flex it a bit and then thump his thumb on the saw.   The blade is kept under pressure as the thumb hits the blade.  Quite easy to do, even I can do it.    As you change the flex of the saw blade the sound will change in tone.     No tunes just some higher pitched whines.     Try it.    Never saw one played with a bow.
