It appears that the officers have been watching to many horror movies like “Saw” or “chain saw massacre”,  as it is a simple old wood saw played with a traditional Cello bow, and it is a well known folk music “instrument” similar to playing a washboard. The instrument has even been played at highly regarded musical establishments such as Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall.

Classically trained Miss Zeigler who plays with her folk band the Bee’s Niece commented that “Of course I stopped playing when I was asked to, and moved on to Covent Garden, but everyone around me who was listening were very disappointed. Once when I was busking in Liverpool, two police officers on police horses stopped and listened for 5-10 minutes and thought it sounded beautiful but I wasn’t moved on”

You can see Ragnhild playing her saw regularly in Liverpool and Chester or catch her Band the Bee’s Niece performing in Manchester in April.
