@@mihan2d Not quite! Though theremin was invented by the Soviets, it was actually popularized by tours done with the instrument in the US in 1927 onward, which were ordered by Lenin at first, but later done with other musicians fascinated with the instrument, especially by musicians such as Clara Rockwell. Though the 70s may have been a booming time for the theremin, the original commenter was correct that tours done by musicians such as Clara Rockwell were the main reason for the instruments’ popularity :)

Daniel never disappoints. Truly an exceptional video.

*The one instrument that makes people yearn for bagpipes.*

I'm actually impressed. You made it make recognizable sounds!

That theremin noise at the beginning sounds like something you'd hear in either a really bad horror movie, a really good horror movie, or a basement in which your captor is trying to induce psychosis via nonsensical stimuli and an incredible amount of mind-affecting substances.

The mode that takes it out of continuous pitch progression to scales definitely helped I noticed lol

Oh Daniel, you’ve bought the haunted instrument! I wish you luck in your endeavors of learning it

Hey This is sick!!! Do note, that you would have better tonal control if you tuck the fingers of your note hand in, so that they don't affect what the antenna picks up. The first theremin Player would pinch her hands like the Italian meme (sorry Italians) because it would give her a point with which she could very finely control the pitch

I'd watch a solid half-hour of this

I've never seen any of your videos before but fuckin wow this was great to watch. Neat to see but also good humor with a style of editing that I can appreciate and laugh at. Glad I found this
