Lee Fang Teng 李芳騰 魍鍾之音 Sound of Magic Saw Musical Saw Concerto Rainbow Records 12" LP (CLP5427)

Lee Fang Teng 李芳騰 — 魍鍾之音 李芳騰鍾琴演奏選集 | Sound of Magic Saw — Musical Saw Concerto | Rainbow Records 33⅓ RPM LP

One of the most unusual and fascinating records you will ever encounter: 魍鍾之音 (Sound of Magic Saw) is a full-length LP showcasing Lee Fang Teng 李芳騰 performing on the 鍾琴 (Musical Saw) — a literal carpenter’s hand saw played as a melodic instrument by bowing or striking its blade while flexing it to change pitch. The musical saw produces an ethereal, singing tone unlike any other instrument, often compared to a human voice or theremin.

Subtitled Musical Saw Concerto in English, this album was released on the 彩虹唱片 (Rainbow Records) label, catalogue RLP-50, as a 33⅓ RPM long-play record. The bilingual liner notes (Chinese and English) provide a detailed history of the musical saw — its origins, tonal character, playing technique, and rarity as a mastered instrument — making this as much a document of curiosity as a musical release.

A highly collectible piece of Southeast Asian music ephemera, ideal for collectors of rare Chinese instrumental records, novelty instruments, or vintage Rainbow Records pressings.
