I wonder who's CD you had. I'm a sawist, but it probably wasn't my CD you had. This is my 3rd album:

Yay - Flatlanders! If you just get a bunch of sawists to play together with no preparation, even if they are good, they will not sound good together, because everyone's rate of vibration is individual. Like at the Guinness World Record for Largest Saw Ensemble youtu.be/vj5znm8LMJc?...
11.02.2026 16:21 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0You are right, it is mostly self taught, but sawchestras are organized. For saws to sound good together, the individuality that comes from self teaching has to be curbed down with a common sound. How did you get into the rabbithole - where did you first hear saw playing?

I love it when the world is small! Speaking of the world, where in it are you? If you happen to be/visit NYC and see a woman playing a saw in the subway - come say 'hi'!

That must have been my friend David Weiss. Alas, he passed away. 'Ave Maria' is probably the most played piece on the saw. Of course I played it, too open.spotify.com/track/23z61g...

Beautiful! Funny that people still think of the saw as 'novel', even though people have been playing saws for 300 years. (If you want to know the history of saw playing youtu.be/PW_aZCOJE_8 (talk starts after the demonstration). Where have you first heard saw playing?

Thank you for telling me! If it's from the 70's it might be a synth...
And yes, sawists are still around 😀🪚
Since you were listening to music with saw and since you're into movies, have you seen the movie Another Earth? This is the saw scene from it youtu.be/ENfJY5rZB48?...

Is that a movie? I'm asking because I'm looking for movies with saw music in them, because I play saw (this is me playing:
Spotify - open.spotify.com/album/2ezZhd...
Apple Music - music.apple.com/us/album/pla... I hope you like it!). Thank you!
👏She is doing excellently! She gets a good sound and her bowing is good. Please tell her I said 'well done'! It's a great beginning, and she is on her way!
