Left handed Thereminist... is it by preference, or technical issues ?

[dangr42]

@CocoTehQuila Preference! Technically, it actually would have been easier to play it right-handed, since all the switches and stuff were set for a right-handed player. But you have to go with your genes...

Why not post it as part 1 part 2 and part 3. The thereminist does have a few problems striking the right note first off but I can imagine that it's a difficult beast to control by the way he shakes his hand.

The long white shirt-gown seems retro-appropriate. Is it some sort of formal-wear common on Vulcan in the 60's? In light of the fantastic Theremin playing, it also suddenly seems quite hip. I'll be getting one.
