There are a lot of do-it-yourself instruments out there, especially in the realm of American folk music, and All Around This World loves every single one of them. If you really forced us to choose favorites…we’d still choose every single one. If you REALLY forced us to choose a favorite, we may be inclined to choose the “musical saw.” A “musical saw,” or singing saw, is, well, a saw. You take a saw, take a bow, and bend the saw as you bow it. When you play it right, it sounds otherworldly, like a theramin. When you play it wrong, it sounds, well, like a saw.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
