Termenvox, autherphone or nowadays better known as theremin. A weird and fascinating electrical instrument that’s played without touching. Theremin has two antennas that sense the position of players hands and change the frequency and volume of the sound. I got to know it today via a friend of mine playing the Maemo Theremin.
The history of theremin is fascinating and includes the Russian civil war, stock market crash in 1929, Lenin, Siperia and KGB.
