Interesting, I have often thought the Theramin would make a good blues instrument. I did borrow one for a while, but didn’t ‘take’ to it. To start with it is left handed. On most (stringed) instruments the left hand is controlling pitch and the right volume and start/finish of the note. The Theramin is the other way round ( I did in fact turn it round and had the back facing me, which helped me play it) As with any instrument , years of practice is needed to make it sound really good but somehow I could tell it was not for me.

Someone let the cat out please!
Probably best used this way rather than as a musical instrument.

As the Captain said 'the following tone is a reference tone, recorded at our operating level' and off we went down the yellow brick road! Things were never quite the same again.
Best wishes to you all, John

I had a Sonic Wave theremin way back in the late 1970s but it was swiped  . Just now looking it up I see a pic of Jimmy Page playing one. Quite a few years ago I bought a similar unit on eBoo from [sorry that looked like an advert]. It's only one antenna for pitch only and it doesn't sound quite the same as what I think are tube models as they were invented but they sound kind of nice with an echo and/or reverb added to it. One problem is the sound is so clean you really have to crank things to get any distortion. It was kind of pricey at the time but I didn't care then. You had a choice of a tabletop model or one that would attach to a mic stand. I think they were made to order.  |
