Self-playing Musical Saw
By Claudine Jones

I often pass the time while cooking or cleaning by putting on my CD of
Clara Rockmore playing the Theremin.  She was such a virtuoso player
that people often mistake the sound for a singer or perhaps a musical
saw.  What is particularly striking is her ability to play the ultimate
legato instrument in a way that doesn't appear trapped by that
limitation.  I find it quite beautiful.
