<< So, the Tannerin transfers that control to a slider
 that travels along a horizontal surface.  A keyboard can be "drawn" on that
 flat surface showing where to "slide" the control to so that you get in the
 vicinity of the correct pitch. >>



larry,
thanks for the info and the url.
gee, and all these years i thought the "good vibrations" sound was a 
theremin...... oh well......you are right, though, exact pitch control with a 
theremin is an art. i wonder how long it took clara rockamore to master it?  
i used to have a simple theremin years ago from a swtpc kit and now have 2 
theremin controllers as part of my d****** modular. i must admit that i like 
messing around with them. alternative control devices, however simple or 
complex, personalized or mass produced definitely need to be encouraged!
best,
dave
