It takes a bit of a niche person to dress up as a Klingon. It takes an entirely different kind of niche person to own and play the theremin. The fact that there is at least one person in the middle of that Venn diagram makes me unbelievably happy.

I feel like the two circles would skew together at least in part, if only because the theremin is an integral part of the iconic TOS theme. If you're interested enough in Star Trek to want to dress as a Klingon, odds are likely better that you'd *also* want to learn to play the theremin.
