"One of the few concert quality Theremins still made in the world today. None of them, as beautiful as this walnut encased classic machine, built to recreate the iconic RCA Theremin sounds of the 1930's. This is as close to that famous timbre as you can get, without the hassle of using rare, unreliable tubes and high voltages. When this innovative instrument (the only instrument in the world you play by NOT touching it) first appeared to the public, people fainted in churches where they were performed, believing they were hearing the voices of angels.
Many early science fiction films featured RCA Theremins for their eerie soundtracks and experimental compositions. And if you're a fan of Clara Rockmore, you know this instrument can also perform an amazing repertoire of music in the right hands-- literally. Add guitar / FX pedals to modulate the output for special effects, or attach a MIDI device for controlling other MIDI instruments and synths (MIDI Theremin controller available on Wavefront's Site). The possibilities are endless. This model is so gorgeous and well crafted, it deserves a place on stage to showcase your theremin skills to the world.
