But why ?

Why not?
Saves making a violin I suppose.

Maybe that'll help explain the why.

Or if you're on a low smug-git diet, here's one with 100% less Simon Cowell in it.

In fact, it's got a pretty haunting sound and (when played well) not entirely unpleasant either.

So you can play music, of sorts :wink:

Just saw a comment under another video on youtube...

"its all fun and games until someone cuts off their penis xD."
Brilliant!

Hold on!!!!
Maybe this is how that guy cut his off with a circular saw!!!! (As posted on here recently).
He'd probably already played the "acoustic" one for a while and was moving on to the "electric saw" so he could put some effects pedals, distortion and the like on it.
It all suddenly makes sense.

Thanks for my keyboard coffee wash !!!

ROFL

My keyboard was only saved a coffee wash by the fact I wasn't drinking any.

Well, the fact I don't actually drink coffee probably played a part too (never took to the stuff) but you get the picture.

It's all old hat!
Those of us who are old enough would have seen all this musical saw stuff back in the late 60's early 70's in TV variety shows.

However, the musical standard seems to have improved somewhat.

You don't need a particularly special saw to do this, although maybe the one linked to has more flex and greater range. The bloke who was teaching us at a juggling convention favoured cheap saws as they were thinner and easier to flex.
It's actually good fun and harder than it looks. I managed a few notes but couldn't string anything together.

If you watch Delicatessen there's musical saw featured a couple of times.

I like the reaction of the two 'Gumps', in the wings! "Can you play hammers and drills?" Sheesh!

As for Cowell? He's entitled to his opinion of the sound, but as someone commented, 'He's full of it.
