Odd Musical Instruments.

The ordinary handsaw has appeared
as musical instrument. One seeker
after novelties uses a saw as violin
After long experience and untirine
practice he has actually succeeded II
getting an agreeable music from the
tool
He holds the saw handle between
his legs. holds the tip of the saw n
one hand, and works the usual violin
bow with the other. The vibrating
steel blade emits soft, appealing notes,
the pitch of which Is varied by chang
ing the curvature of the blade All
sorts of queer effects can be got by
adept manipulation of the blade.
Sometimes the music resembles the
human voice; again 1t has the weird
wall of the Hawaiian ukulele.
