Or have known someone who did? I'm thinking of buying one and can score one new for less than $400. I'm sure it would be hard to get as proficient as someone like Paul Tanner, but heck, I might as well try and see what happens.

Haven't heard about that instrument in years, in the late 60's there was a rock band called Lothar & The Hand People, & this instrument was used, to create really strange sounds.

Oh yeah, I remember Lothar. They used to get a little bit of press in the teen rags of the day. But they always scared me a bit----as did the Fugs! Shocked Tongue

If I could play Theremin as well as the guy at the intro of this song, I would be very happy.

My buddy out in Denver has one and has gotten good enough to give a few Concerts. I believe has used it for some movie scores and Sound tracks to some silent movies.  Blank Frigging Stare Cool
