The singing saw is a unique musical instrument made from a flexible steel saw blade. When played, it produces a haunting, ethereal sound that resembles a human voice. Musicians use a bow, similar to that of a violin, to create vibrations in the saw, and they can also bend the blade to change the pitch. This instrument is often associated with folk music and has been used in various genres, including classical and experimental music. The singing saw can be played solo or as part of an ensemble, adding a distinctive texture to musical compositions.
