  • Yes, back then, the world actually WAS silent. So he invented the theremin as a physical exercise machine. He was very surprised when in 1928, sound was invented and he noticed that his machine actually made these new "sounds".

  • What a visionary. Leonard Nimoy managed to invent a musical instrument which you did not have to touch BEFORE SOUND WAS EVEN INVENTED.

    He got the inspiration from conducting the traffic.

  • In 1928 Leon Theremin upgradet this instrument with the ability to make sound.

  • @cullyvan I had an Uncle Jack, but he could get on and off a horse without any help. He was obviously fitter than your uncle Jack was. Whats this got to do with Theremins anyway ? By the way, can you play anything (apart from the pink oboe) ?

  • @pasegerOgi its a joke idiot

  • @pasegerOgi I'm sorry to have to be the one to say this, but... you're an idiot.

  • @cullyvan JAcking off a pony?If that's what it reminded you of, you must have somepersonal familiarity with that subject.
