26” Thomas Flinn Roberts & Lee Parkstone Musical Saw

Musical saws, aka “singing saws” aka “melody saws” are made to be played with a bow when placed between the knees. People have enjoyed the musical sounds of saws for pretty much the entire time they’ve used saws to cut wood. The 26” Roberts & Lee Parkstone Musical Saw made by Thomas Flinn, well-known for their woodworking saws, has a good all round sound and is considered a very flexible and fun saw to play.

Unlike some other musical saws, this saw has teeth, although they are not sharpened or set as a standard woodcutting saw’s teeth would be (and about 4 inches of teeth are removed entirely so the saw does not catch on the player’s clothing).

The Parkstone Musical Saw Kit contains the Beech Handled version Saw, Bow, Rosin and Cheat (handle that assists bending the saw) complete in a beautifully finished screen printed, fold up kraft box. The box can also then be used as storage for the saw too. The saw blade is made from fully ground carbon steel 80.

The 26" saw is an alto voice with a range from low A (below middle C) to high C. Made in the UK.
