This full-sized Stradsaw is a serious concert-quality musical saw! Equal to the very best high-end European "lame sonores" and "music blades" - you won't find a better musical saw anywhere else - at any price - with this quality of workmanship and backed with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Stradsaws are noted for having unusually rich low notes that go well below most musical saws. They also have perfectly balanced middle and upper notes that sing clear and strong, without harshness. Every note is fully usable, and the response is quick and light under your bow, with excellent sustain times as long as 20 seconds. Each Stradsaw is made with a unique system of blade isolation. Blade vibration cannot get contaminated with handle buzz or interference, so that even the low notes ring forth very richly. Stradsaws are the only make of musical saw to use this special blade isolation system.
This Stradsaw model has a stylish base handle, with enough length to feel very secure. It is quite comfortable to hold, with nicely rounded edges. A wide choice of exotic hardwoods is available, and your choice of blade size and saw cheat are included at no extra cost (except for a few of the largest blades, which cost a little more). You can also add a fitted, zippered case and accessories like a bow, rosin and museum wax. Every Stradsaw includes a tutorial DVD and instruction booklet, to help you get started!
