Re: Theremin on "I've Got a Secret" (1966)

2008-02-09 by Pete

Hi all ...

This too is my 1st post/reply to the group and I am new to the
Theremin. I dont own one yet and never "played" one but I am totally
fascinated by the instrument! 

Thanks to OP for sharing this link.I have never seen that footage before. 

I noticed that during this gentleman's performance there were some
points of very pronounced vibrato yet I really could not discern
much,if any, movement of his hand to cause the effect.

OK ..newbie question time....Are some Theremins more sensitive than
others? I have seen other footage of Theremin performances and noticed
more distinct motion of the hand for vibrato effect. Is it more a
players technique to control vibrato or do different Theremins respond 
differently to ones technique..or is a combination of both?

Sorry for the elementary line of questioning but I figured this was
the place to find out.

Thanks ... Pete  Columbus Ohio
