I quote myself.
It is a sorry SOB that can't learn something from the Cellar on a daily basis.
I'm amazed at how many times I've heard this instrument and wasn't aware or wtf it was.....
Thanks folks.

I thought I was the only person that had ever heard of the damn thing.
I tries to explain it to a buddy of mine, and he thought I was nuts.
Well, he's right. I am insane, but the theramine does exist.
Thank you Ron Popeil for this amazing invention that no home should be without, and for only $19.95 plus shipping and handling, you can have one of your very own.
Call now. Operators are standing by...

Around here, I quickly find out how little I know. If you think you're introducing something new to the Cellar, you usually find out that another user owns 16, and has since 1943. Lots of cool ppl here.

I feel like an ABC After-School Special, here:

"To learn more about the theremin, and its inventor, Leon Theremin, please see "Theremin - An Electronic Odyssey". This documentary tells the intriguing tale of the inventor of the only musical instrument that is played without being touched, his strange and bizarre history, and his ultimate reunion with the greatest performer on his creation, the immortal Clara Rockmore. The importance and influence of this instrument is illuminated by some of the most seminal creators and performers of electronic musical instruments, as well as placing Lev Theremin's life into a fascinating historical perspective."

FYI:

Since I posted this, I noticed that the picture, which is hosted at flickr, is seeing slightly more activity than other pictures I've put up there. I figured out where the traffic was coming from when I was poking around Theremin World and saw somebody had been linking to it to discuss what the equipment is. They wanted to know about who the guy is.

So I did some looking around, and figured out the guy is Arthur Harrison, who happens to have a webpage on how to build theremins, and the band he is playing with is called The Cassettes. You can go to their webpages, if you wish, and hear some music samples.
