Introducing the Moog Polyphonic Theremin

Introduced in 1928, the Theremin is one of the earliest and most widely known electronic instruments. Played artists that manipulate invisible energy fields around antennas which control the pitch and volume of the sound, Theremin music has distinguished hit records from such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Clara Rockmore and Linkin Park.

Today (April 1st), Moog Music designers carrying on the legacy of visionary founder, Robert Moog have announced the first major technical Theremin design advance in over 40 years. The PolyTheremin™ incorporates bleeding edge IsoDirectional Inductive Oscillator Technology, to isolate space around five individual pitch antennas thus enabling each to be played simultaneously (finger-by-finger) without interference from its companion antennas. This revolutionary concept breaks the long held belief that the Theremin could only be monophonic instrument.

The PolyTheremin ships with Dorit Chrysler's instructional video "Playing the PolyTheremin is Even Easier Than Playing a Monophonic Theremin."

Apparently they put a lot of thought into developing this amazing instrument, but not quite as much into naming it.

It is a beautiful peace of technology and a very interesting contribution to the world of music, but as for the piece played in this video I still prefer an old fashioned, steel stringed wooden guitar, played by mr. Page of course.

[Romano Bavarese]

Hahaha. The best April joke ever. Would be nice, if Moog would build it really.
