wow, stunning!

[oggeorgee]

thank you for your video

what do u think, is the gakken a good choice for trying the theremin first time?

[c4r50n1]

I wish I had all of your instruments. Fucking Santa only gave me one theremin. Oh well, I'll beat his stupid ass next year! haha I've a got moog etherwave standard and the range sucks. I fixed it by putting a mic stand next to the pitch antenna which increased the range!!! EPIC WIN! haha

This is great. Keep it up!

Lovely performance! It seems that in the right hands the Gakken Premium, an inexpensive toy, can sound beautiful.

Thanks for the reply. Is it much harder to play than the usual makes and how many octaves does it have?

[insx]

Is that just amped or are you using any effects to get it sounding that good?

[JrWerewolf]

@insx Hi insx! I'm glad you like it!

It's just amped using a Marshall MS-2 miniamp. There's the natural reverb of the room, and a little additional reverb on the general mix to integrate it with the piano, that's all! It's a great sounding toy!

Fantastic playing

[yeapsystar]

Aaaawww ;-) Sweet song and ver well played!

Incredible job for a toy theremin! Sounds just as beautiful and as expressive as a violin would, I tip my hat to you sir!

[Vlern]

awesome! didn't know Gakken were making these.

 i have the Gakken analogue synth. -ha, I also have that same Silvertone behind You. great guitar.

[JrWerewolf]

@Vlern Thank you!! I wish it was a Silvertone like yours!! It's a cheap old Samick strat-clone with lipsticks and a new mirror pickguard... it's beautiful, but it doesen't work!! hAHahhA... It's faaAAaaaAar away from your serious guitar!! Gakken do great toys, I think the best toys in the world! Who was a child now...
