<p>Initial commit</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Introduction ==<br /> The theremin is one of the first electric instruments, invented in the 1930s. Despite its relative simplicity, its unique sound can be [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajM4vYCZMZk hauntingly beautiful], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEcZFvGVGf0 deeply elegant], or just [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wpwn2LVy9eA downright cool]. The two &quot;antennas&quot; are &quot;plates&quot; in a capacitor, with the other &quot;plates&quot; being the thereminist&#039;s hands - by moving his hands, he adjusts the capacitance and controls the volume and pitch of the oscillation produced. This project aims to build a theremin using stock circuit components.<br /> <br /> == Background Reading ==<br /> This seems to be a fairly straightforward analog electronics project. There&#039;s a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin Wikipedia explanation] of the operating principles, and a [https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Theremin Wikihow article] (of course).</div>
