MUSICAL SAW SEMINAR 

Danny Moynahan is a composer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He plays saw in a variety of contexts, including film, theater, live music venues, and playing "Happy Birthday" over the phone for his friends and family. You, too, can get those otherworldly sounds from this most unlikely instrument with Danny's expert instruction. Topics to be covered include:

  • proper technique for getting a sound out of your saw
  • finding pitches, playing intervals, and using vibrato (i.e. making music)
  • playing songs (finding the range and starting pitch)
  • amplifying your saw (pick-ups and mic placement)
We'll also discuss equipment, musical contexts, and sawing resources. Bring your own or buy one of the saws we have for sale here at McCabe's. You'll be cutting your own musical niche in no time!
