What about a case for this?

You can get the case for BAHCO 296 for $25.88 at https://musicalsaw.com/catalog. I got itChinh Van Phan.

how many octaves can be played on this saw?

I'm still a newer saw player and I can get 3

Does it have pickups ( as in "Electric Saw" )........? * ? * ?

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.

I don’t see a hole on top of it how would I attach my musical saw handle?

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.

Lovely bass 30" instrument (best suited to experienced players!)

I have been playing the saw for several years & wanted a bass saw for studio work & harmonising / sawchestra sessions. I've tried 2 bass saws by the competitor but sadly they're pretty useless as they're too flexible to control without overtones & harmonics. Stradivarius musical saws are fantastic - I've tried a few & they're comparable to regular Sandvik saws: easy to play & with a lovely rich töne. My advice to starter players is don't buy a 'proper' musical saw until you've mastered the techniques on an old (regular) saw that has cost you next to nothing. Sandviks are best but most saws will be good enough to practice with till you have strength in your hand. You will need a bow (I use a cello bow) & - very importantly - some soft double bass rosin (like Pop's) for the bow strings. Don't scrimp with cheap rosin: it won't work! There are great 'how-to' videos for this wonderfully cheap, fun, underrated & charismatic instrument on youtube. It takes time, patience, a good ear & hand strength to learn but once you have the technique it's a pretty easy instrument to play!This is a 30" saw. I'd recommend starting out with a 22"!
