The term "singende Säge" is a German phrase that translates to "singing saw" in English. It refers to a musical instrument called the musical saw, which is a handsaw that is played by bending and flexing the blade to produce musical tones. The saw is typically held between the player's knees or against their body, and a bow or mallet is used to create vibrations on the blade, resulting in a haunting and ethereal sound.
The musical saw has been used in various musical genres and compositions, including classical, folk, and experimental music. It has been featured in orchestral works, film soundtracks, and solo performances. The unique sound of the musical saw adds a distinctive and atmospheric quality to the music it is used in.
