Form : An early musical instrument.
Inventor :
Léon Theremin
Developed in : 1919
Location : RUSSIA
USP :
- An early electronic musical instrument controlled without discernible physical contact from the player.
- The controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which sense the position of the player's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude (volume) with the other, so it can be played without being touched. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker.
