About the use of the Flexatone.

The Khatchaturian Piano Concerto calls for the flexatone in the second movement, but the instruments you can buy today are unfit for the purpose. In search for better instruments we came across the sawlady's webpage about flexatone, where she argues that the instrument was called to replace the musical saw. I have tried to go back - replace the flexatone with a musical saw - in this piece. It made sense! Ben.
