Thanks Den for posting that. I'm sure you will tell us the science behind this instrument. Magnetism and electric currents?

I have found a couple more YouTube clips of this instrument being played. The first is very appropriate as we have just had this song for the March 2020 Challenge!

THEREMIN - Over The Rainbow



I suppose like any instrument without any frets to determine notes accurately (eg. a violin) there are some players who hit the right notes better than others. This one not so good, I fancy.

Now, how about something classical? He's pretty accurate with the pitch of his notes. A pleasure to listen to him.

On the earlier recordings of 'Midsomer Murders' a Theremin can be heard being played towards the end of the introductory music. .. Fred

The kit to build this cost $A99 from Jcar Au. Can be bought over the net. Not easy to play but fascinating to watch. Regards,Den.

Hi

A Theremin is definitely on my "wish list" of instruments to acquire.

Keep safe everyone. It's very strange not having to go out to play at church this Sunday.

Every Blessing

Just been watching this, the message she relates is worth listening.
