J-List Review - Gakken Science Projects for Adults Vol. 17: Theremin Mini

Gakken Science Projects for Adults is a new series of magazines from Japan that come with all the materials you need to build a specific project. These aren't simple baking soda and vinegar volcano projects either (although they are fun too), but technical/ mechanical projects based on previous technology allowing you to experience it first hand. Everything from vacuum engines, to 4-bit micro computers and even constructing your own electric guitar are available. Who says kids get to have all the fun?

This project features the construction of your own Theremin mini, a smaller more compact version of the original Thermin instrument which is the worlds oldest electronic instrument. Invented in 1920 by Russian scientist Leon Theremin, the device is played by holding your hand closer or farther away from the antenna with your right hand and using your left hand for other note variations (from creating a rhythm, sustaining or stopping a note, creating legato etc). When performed by a professional Theremin musician, it can sound as lyrical as a violin and look wonderfully magical because they are producing music without even touching the instrument. A great way to impress your friends with a rarely seen and unique instrument.
