The theremin is one of the oldest electronic
instruments, and the only one known that you play without touching.
Moving your hands in the space around its antennas controls pitch and
volume. Like the Ethervox, the Etherwave is an authentic adaptation of
inventor Leon Theremin's original design.
The Etherwave is a quality theremin with a
design that retains many characteristics of the original theremins,
including a five-octave pitch range and reliable spacing between notes
for sophisticated playability. Antennas are nickel-plated 3/8" brass
tube and cabinets are furniture-grade hardwood, finished black. The
Etherwave is fitted with an adapter for mounting on a standard
microphone stand and is designed for use with a musical instrument
amplifier such as the Moog TB-15.
All Etherwaves in the U.S. ship with two
videotapes: Clara Rockmore: the Greatest Theremin Virtuosa, and
Mastering the Theremin, featuring Lydia Kavina.
