Theremins were invented in 1919 by Russian Radio physicist, Leon Theremin. He was granted his patent in 1925, and RCA Victor baught the rights to produce 500 theremins based on his design. In the mid 50s, Bob Moog started making synthesizers, and theremins in short runs.

In the 80s, 90s, and eaerly part of this century, Bob Moog started larger scale manufacturing. Now there are a hand ful of manufacturers of theremins that have popped up over the last decade or so.

Yes. It's for real. It's no joke. This thing's a theremin. It's an electronic instrument that you play without touching.

It works by capacitence. There's a field of radio-magnetic-electrical energy around the antennas which control a variable tone generating oscilator that produces 200Khz (inaudible) along with another at nearly the same frequency. The combined tones produce an audible tone between 20 and 8 Khz, the range of a piano.

Sound gets routed to an amp or sound system.

Hey, me once again. There's a video I found with a therimin and a cello in a reverb chamber. It sounds soooo creepy, like whales talking to each other. You should check it out! :)

Yes. I've seen it. That video inspired me to get a waterphone. There's another video they did that shows a waterphone in use in that same room. :)
