    The next step up is something like this, which is the same price as a good scroll saw.

    Sandvik is advertised at Amazon and BAHCO might be available at Sears. Good luck or buy a scroll saw for good results.

    My eclipse coping saw has served me well for 30+ years. For making scales maybe see if you can pick up a cheap chinese or second hand saw and get some decent blades.
