martenot looks like a decorated theremin

[GerSHAK]

That piece for piano and ondes martenot (not the Holy Night one) is really, really beautiful...

[Stereo2711]

The second song it's beautiful

[BZHLover29]

je croyais que c'était le Thérémine qui faisait les bruitages de "Mars Attacks" de Tim Burton ???? En tout cas c'est ce que dis un journal scientifique que j'ai lu !

Who needs digital samplers and Theremins when you've got it all in one elegant package? Now if that thing can sing "Feel Like We Do" through a TalkBox or Vocoder, I'll scream! :^)

@itubeyoutubewetube it IS a decorated theremin. (at least to me) I think it's awesome to have those keys instead of trying to guess what note you are playing, especially for those with an uneducated ear...

I wish I understood French...
