@Virasana - Because only a theremin virtuoso can have an opinion?

Leonberli's comment was accurate but blunt and unnecessary ("73 bum notes") - but at least Lawrieshaw is not delusional (youtube search "Joe Theremin") and realises there is plenty of room for improvement - but I think it may take longer than a month.

You are welcome to hear and assess my efforts (on my channel) but any comparison will be "apples and oranges" as I play experimental, not classical theremin.

Wow, Joe theremin really made me laugh out loud and long. I've added it to my favourites.

Gordon, yours are facinating. I need to watch more, when I have time but popping out now to go scotish country dancing.

Thanks for your comment.

Brings a tear to the eye! Bravo!!!

[Virasana]

Fab Lawrie!

It look really difficult to play, but you're doing marvelously!

Well done!

[Mattegsels]

Very nice!

[madamerotten]

The notes may not be exact, but you have a marvelous technique that I really enjoyed. Good luck in your continued theremin studies!

[GordonCharlton]

You're welcome. Given that your video's tags include "healing" and "spirituality" I suggest a visit to chrisconway [full stop] org - he's lovely and ambient and spacey and holistic. I'm a bit more "dark side of the force" :-)

I wonder where we get to hear and assess LEONBERLI's efforts at playing the theramin?

[leonberli]

very bad intonation, horrible vibrato - start learning to play it properly!
