Thelonious Sphere Monk's "Ruby, my dear" (1945), as performed by Brian Robison (theremin), Dick Forman (piano), and Tristan Axelrod (bass), at Middlebury College, 22 April 2008.
One hand controls the volume and the other the pitch (I don't remember which is which). You need a good ear to play this instrument, and even then I imagine it's incredibly difficult.
This was pretty cool. People on here are way too critical.
Don't listen to them.

Yeah, the theremin was off-key quite a bit. But still, good video. :D

that theremin is a little off key. I know its hard to play that instrument, but still...
Despite that, I thought this was a nice video.
