The most advanced musical saws and
accessories - backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee
Because...
A Stradsaw is MADE for music!
It's a fusion of art and science. Every Stradsaw is a unique, custom creation - no two are the same. Five years of trial-and-error development have resulted in the evolution of the musical saw into a serious, professional instrument!
- Made from the very best materials, in a wealth of designs
- Made with lots of options, including a wide choice of beautiful hardwoods and eight sizes of blades
- Each Stradsaw can be purchased either by itself, or as a custom package with exactly the accessories that you choose.
- Stradsaw blades all get four complete octaves of note range, including the deepest, richest low end that you'll ever hear in a musical saw. The mid and upper ranges are all clear and strong, with excellent sustain. Blades are made in many different note ranges and sizes.
- No assembly line! Each Stradsaw is individually made to the client's specifications. The work is slow and exacting - with superb results.
