I would love to learn how to play the Theremin some day. Is it relatively easy to learn? I mean to learn things like the song you are playing in this video. Or is it a pretty difficult thing to master? I am thinking of investing in a Theremin, I am not entirely sure about it yet. Please get back to me on this, thanks very much.

@MrBeJeCa95 The theremin is considered to be ther most difficult instrument to play "well" (not to be confused with the most difficult instrument to play, which is the pipe organ). This is because of the added need to be careful with balance, excess movements, even breathing when playing the theremin. This instrument works on your capacitence. You become part of a capacitence circuit to control both the volume and pitch with your hands. It takes years to master like violin. But it's rewarding.

It Sounds like an Opera singer and I have noticed it is basically mimicking playing a backwards guitaar, but this is soo much better, I appreciate your music, you play beautifully!

@MotoGuzzi7 Hi! :) Thanks for the kind words. If those kinds of events ever pony up the dough to get me there, and cover my fees, lodging, transportation, ect, I'd do it in a heartbeat. :)

Hi Mr. Thomas Grillo.

Have you ever considered attempting or volunteering to play for the opening of The Indianapolis 500 race?

I believe you would have the potential of becoming as much an American Icon as Jim Nabors "Back Home Again in Indiana", The Balloon Release and the War birds Fly By.

I commented on one of your videos before and you were kind enough to respond.

Thank You.

"Ave Maria" and "Danny Boy" are wonderful.

@hotdogsrock I wish you all the best with your quest. :)
