Stays in tune better than air guitar

[@LuisTheSoundscaper]

You guys should check out the documentary about the dude who created the this, it's called "Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey". His life is incredible and it's on Amazon.

[@TheStraatjutter]

She's such a good ambassador for the instrument

[@ducas8937]

Such a cool instrument, have seen stuff about it for years, with all the pedals in the market it just make sense that it will make a come back. Hope more people will start taking it more seriously

[@Balboa_Rocky]

She is the best theraminist in the world... I follow her YT channel

I just see a person making single-handed signs from Naruto and using the sound jutsu, but seriously, she is way too talented to have that control and stillness.

I’m watching this 4 years later and feeling even more mind-blown then before 🤯

[@envitech02]

What a wonderful instrument!! I have a unit for sale. Never been touched.

[@ronnyb5890]

wow,playing the theremin accurately is very difficult,you make it seem easy,well done,the last few notes were almost the soundtrack from the movie "forbidden planet" LOL

[@danielmiyahara9089]

I just came here cuz I just bought that movie on VHS

[@ronnyb5890]

@@danielmiyahara9089 on VHS? you mean DVD,i even put my DVDs on hard drives in mp4 format nowadays,because of the issue i had with no more machines to play my video cassettes,first to go was bètamax,then VHS,and i guess that DVDs are not far away of disapeering also,i lost all my movies on videocassette,no more,now its all digital,and on seperate 4Tb drives (backup)

Too bad they stop producing that theremin, I would have bought one. This is an awesome one.

GET IN TOUCH WITH THE moogseum IN ashville NC. AS A SUGGESTION

[@JohnMurrayMusic]

That is such an interesting instrument ! You play it so well; I like the set-up you have there !

[@carbon3d]

Wow that's incredibly simple to my mind. Fantastic tutorial!

[@Casey_J96]

First time I saw one of these was at a concert and the frontman from some opening band used one. Blew my mind at the time lol

It must take a lot of practice to master that instrument and play so well.

Carolina is ace! 💙

when i play my Theremini by Moog, basically no matter what i do, its just space music, i cannot replicate melody of any kind, its the hardest thing to play :(

[@danielcollins7960]

Name of song at 4:17? Crazy, that’s literally the song I played when I first got to try the theremin

[@DaCashRap]

I think this will look like the future at any time

[@trevordeke]

Amazing.

[@obody-sl9np]

Why the bloody heck, every single time I'm listening to a thermin playing single notes, a 1950's ghost comes to mind

[@doves5457]

cause you remember hearing theremin background music often used in TV specials like horror or sci-fi back then

[@PaulCAH]

In what key is the Theremin?

[@qwertyTRiG]

As far as I understand it, it's in whatever key you'd like it to be. She has an octave in her hand, so she can just move to a different starting position to have a different key.

[@jasonruffjr3107]

How did you play multiple notes?

[@jeshhy13]

Wtf no way. Helluh mind blown right now

[@AgarthaFan]

What is that song she plays at the very beginning?

[@Reverb]

"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - thanks so much for watching!

[@TideMarco1123]

Where to buy this ??

[@eat-study]

Thanks to Jimmy Page

[@despairthewumbo9804]

That is actually fucking sick .

What model is this theremin?

[@Alf2555]

Midsummer mysteries uses it in their theme music

[@tony-be3ty]

Never knew this instrument existed

[@rickc2102]

It was used for sound effects in and scoring of old scifi movies. I think the first time it was used in popular music was The Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds, most notably the song Good Vibrations.

[@maximusmax4557]

Jesus.

This kinda reminds me of Jonny Greenwood and his Ondes.

but does it djent?

electronic instruements can't live without pedals

[@Kaesewicht]

What i always wondered about this Instrument is, if the radiation is harmful? Because it works with radiatons if im not mistaken.

[@tommyaguirre3260]

The principle is exactly the same as that of a pickup on a guitar, each antenna puts out a small field and as you move your hands in the field you disrupt the field, just like how a string on a guitar vibrating over a pickup disrupts the pickup’s magnetic field. Instead of using electromagnetism, it uses radio waves at a frequency of about 500 KHz. For reference AM radio waves are between 300 KHz and 3 MHz, so if listening to the weather on a transistor radio isn’t harmful, neither is the theremin.

[@sub-harmonik]

@@tommyaguirre3260 radio waves are electromagnetic waves...
