    If you haven't seen the Theremin documentary, it's definitely worth it. Very interesting man with an interesting history. Seeing the Theremin being used to play classical music that sounds nothing like the usual warbly, horror/sci-fi theme music is eye-opening too.
    Current:
    GTH-1

    Completed:
    AST-1FB
    First Act ME276 (resurrected curb-side find)
    ES-5V
    Scratchie lapsteel
    Custom ST-1 12 String
    JBA-4
    TL-1TB
    Scratch Lapsteel
    Meinl DIY Cajon
    Cigar Box lap steel

    Wishing:
    Baritone
    Open D/Standard Double 6 twin neck

    I think I may have watched that documentary at some stage, I agree, most people who get introduced to the Theremin do seem to be stuck in this mindset that the Theremin is only really good for 50's B-Grade Sci-Fi movie sounds and soundtracks, when nothing could be further from the truth, as some of the videos I've posted prove that you can actually make some beautiful music with a Theremin, if you approach it the right way, it deserves to be recognized as a legitimate musical instrument in my honest opinion.
