One of the oddest and most certainly one of the funkiest and greatest instruments in music history turned 100 years old last week!

I had no idea it was that old of an instrument.
I've always loved the sound of the theremin. You can make some seriously spooky sounds with that...

^^ Wow !! I knew this curious sound but I had no idea what this instrument ! We play it without touching it ! I will fall asleep less stupid tonight ! What a bizarre instrument producing such an emotional sound.
Thanx Charger :beerbang:

I've played a Theremin before. Beyond doing just a spooky sound, getting it to play precise notes is very demanding on how one positions the hands.

Posture seems to play a big part as well. Such a unique & trippy instrument.

Glad to be of service! :)
The theremin is one of those instruments I would LOVE to own...and learn how to play, but I gather it is actually one of the hardest instrument to master...
