your own mini theremin

The Theremin is quite possibly the strangest musical instrument ever made. Invented in 1919, it was one of the world’s first electronic instruments. The Theremin produces its otherworldly sounds without ever touching it.
Soon, you’ll be able to get your own miniature Theremin to put on your desktop.

Japanese science kit maker Gakken has created this miniature replica of the weird instrument that’s just about 3″ wide by 5″ tall. It runs on batteries and cranks out the same science fiction wails as the original.
For some reason, I can’t get the Star Trek theme out of my head now.

Hey nice post,
surfing around the net I scouted this site and content you might really like:

It’s a sort of funny and quircky history pf electronic music through its instruments.
In this case the theremin.
Hope you’ll enjoy as much as I did
