Hi all. I’ve just arrived from Reddit - r/Theremin to be exact - and have set up a new community all about the theremin. If you have a Theremin or are just interested in them, please join me. I shall post information there and links to Theremin videos.

Cool! All I know about the Theremin really is that the Midsomer Murders theme is played on it, and the Doctor Who theme is not, even though most people think it is.
It’s in a couple Beach Boys songs too!
*pushes up glasses, engages nasal voice* Technically, the Beach Boys had an Electro-Theremin, which produces a similar sound but with less hand-waving. The Electro-Theremin used a pitch slider and a volume knob to control its output.
I have the Theremin sheet music for both, done by Carolina Eyck - Perhaps I should learn to play them.
Am I the only one to suddenly hear the Star Trek theme song in their head just as I finished the post description?
Dr. Who for me
Errrm… quite possibly!
Awesome. We went to see Lord Huron at a smaller venue here and were so surprised when they brought out a theremin to play, I had not realized that was in their sound, such an oddball instrument.
It certainly is oddball, but when mastered produces such beautiful sounds.
I have seen one get used, and played in a musical theatre pit that called for a theremin player who could also play trumpet. That's the only relevant stuff I have to say. Best wishes with the community!
Thank you :-)
