This saw has a traditional wood handle with brass hardware. Review: You saw me play - Great instrument. It has a very rich sound. I started off playing a 26" Great Neck. It did we'll, but the sound, and the range of the Stradivarius is far superior. I can see how this was made as an instrument versus a tool. You won't go wrong with this saw. On another "note", this is a Snap-On product. The BAHCO brand was purchased by Snap-On in 1999 as a sub-brand of Sandvik Saws and Tools. But the original creation process is in place, and the product is the same as the original distribution. Review: Very Good Musical Saw - I really like this musical saw. Most of the time, I play on regular 26" hardware store (i.e., not exclusively musical) saws. While those regular saws are perfectly playable, this Bahco Stradivarius is worlds apart in terms of range and especially sustain. I like that this saw has teeth (so it still looks like a real saw) but they are not pointed or sharpened. The blade appears to be coated with a layer of clear varnish or polyurethane to protect the steel from oxidation, which is a smart feature. This is a nice looking saw as much as it is a nice playing one. Responding to the earlier reviewer's claim that this saw is too stiff to make the s-bend, that is really not true in my experience of this saw. The problem experienced by the earlier reviewer was probably the newbie mistake of trying to make way too much s-bend (it only takes a very little bit to make the saw play). Perhaps the only drawbacks to this saw are that it does not include any accessories, especially a case (the comparable Wentworth baritone musical saw is available in a package deal that includes the saw, case, bow, bow case, rosin, and cheat) and there is not a nail hole in the narrow end, making it tough to attach a standard cheat to this saw. ## Features - Polished blade with flat back and un-ground teeth - Country Of Origin: Sweden - Model Number: 296 - Item Package Dimension: 35.0" L x 10.0" W x 2.0" H ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002IB1C6K | | Best Sellers Rank | #270,344 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #353 in Handsaws | | Blade Length | 30 inches | | Blade Material | High Speed Steel | | Blade Shape | Flat | | Brand | Bahco | | Brand Name | Bahco | | Color | Beige Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 108 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07311518034146 | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | Serrucho Stradivarius Music | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 11.02"L x 11.02"W x 7.09"H | | Item Weight | 1.13 kg | | Manufacturer | Snap-On Industrial Brand BAHCO | | Manufacturer Part Number | 296 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Warranty: Snap-on Industrial Brands warrants that BAHCO products shall be free from defects in workmanship and materials for the usable life of the product. | | Model Number | 296 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Teeth | 18 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Brass Hardware and Traditional Wooden Handle | | Power Source | Manual | | Special Feature | Brass Hardware and Traditional Wooden Handle | | Surface Recommendation | Brass, Wood | | UPC | 733353878926 | | Warranty Type | Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** High Speed Steel - **Brand:** Bahco - **Color:** Beige Silver - **Power Source:** Manual - **Surface Recommendation:** Brass, Wood ## Images ![BAHCO 296 Stradivarius Musical Saw - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31q6zmJI-7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What about a case for this?** A: You can get the case for BAHCO 296 for $25.88 at https://musicalsaw.com/catalog. I got itChinh Van Phan. **Q: how many octaves can be played on this saw?** A: I'm still a newer saw player and I can get 3 **Q: Does it have pickups ( as in "Electric Saw" )........? * ? * ?** A: No pickups. A saw is very, very loud. Most of the time I can play it anywhere and be heard. If you need a little kick just use your favorite mic on a boom stand. **Q: I don’t see a hole on top of it how would I attach my musical saw handle?** A: You are correct, there is no way to use a "screw on" handle with this saw. I looked at a couple websites and found a handle attached to a block with a slot at the end of the block. The slot slides over the end of the saw (nice and snug) and that way you can bend the blade easily without relying on your finger tips. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You saw me play *by E***R on June 22, 2013* Great instrument.

Most of the time, I play on regular 26" hardware store (i.e., not exclusively musical) saws.

Just ordered a cello-bow (which I did not at time of ordering). I am tapping it with a rubber spatula from my wife's kitchen utensils. The (musical) saw is just fine. No hesitation about buying it. Once my bow comes and I gain a little more finesse, I will play it for my grandkids and when their mouths drop and their eyes get big (with amazement), I will be feeling just fine about the money spent for this odd instrument. PS. I'll be using it in a recording studio and for video background music and folly as well… so LUCKY ME, business expense. Thank you Uncle Sam! weahh woahhh aheee (that's saw sounds FYI) ## Frequently Bought Together - BAHCO 296 Stradivarius Musical Saw - D'Addario Violin Rosin - Cello Rosin - Natural Rosin Violin, Light - WinsterBow Brazilwood Ebony Violin Viola Cello Bow Full Size Ebony Frog with Natural Horsehair (Cello bow 4/4) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/5361875-bahco-296-stradivarius-musical-saw](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/5361875-bahco-296-stradivarius-musical-saw) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
