The Theremin is the coolest instrument in the world , and thinking this electronic marvel was created in the 1910s is amazing .

yk10yk No, this is still the coolest. The marble machine is just a gimmick and cannot be used in actual concerts, just something to say “hey that looks cool” at.

No it’s not the coolest. Are you for real. If this relatively new instrument was actually liked by most people who heard it then it would have been used much more by musicians in solo, bands, and to create sound effects. It’s definitely an interesting, unique, and educational instrument. It’s just not inherently appealing like many mainstream instruments.
I couldn’t remember the name of the instrument, but I absolutely love that KZread knew _exactly_ what I wanted when I searched “Alien instrument hands” lmfao

I agree, but since i only found out about its existance as well, the overwhelming majority of people would probably not get what's going on, thus it will probably never happen in any mainstream horror movie. Would be a great scene tho!

Check out “The Haunted Carousel” here on KZread, the theremin is used in a very Mario-esque creepy manner (so not super creepy, but spooky nonetheless). It’s actual notated for an iPad theremin, but actually my school band is using a real one.

That's actually amazing. I never knew such an instrument existed. Quite beautiful.
I feel like a kid learning about something new!!!! Amazing instrument!
I need one of these so that I can act like I'm playing the world's tiniest violin.

I just watched the 1951 movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and this was the instrument used to create the sound of the spaceship. The spokesperson for the movie said that the producer had a very difficult time finding someone who knew how to play one.

Theremin turned 100 years old this year. :)
Wow this is incredible! I never even KNEW this existed, and to think it was created so long ago is really mind boggling.
Such an amazing instrument. I just discovered it and the word "theremin" today while watching a KZread video on Danny Elfman concert. I saw a man moving his hands in eerie movements. I was looking for a string but I could not see one. I assumed a string was there; I just couldn't see it because of the darkness of the room. I could see myself experimenting with the theremin all day. Love the creepy sounds it can make.
I never thought about it until just a few years ago but I had no idea what made that eerie music in 1950's sci-fi movies that scared the bejesus out of me when I was a kid. I asked a friend who was a musician and he told me about the theremin. What a clever device!
You can put it next to a wall and put tape to mark where to put your hand when beginning (similar to violin)

Hey dumb fuck, the channel owner is likely the broad in the video which means she provided her own examples over audio from an informative video about the instrument.

WOW! I have yet to see one of these played like this. It is so beautiful.
Absolutely incredible, the world of music and science never cease to be exciting, eye-opening and awe-inspiring. A compliment to the ingenious creator and a compliment to Carolina who expresses the ingenuity of this marvel of an instrument. The book the 'Disguise' by Hugo Hamilton has brought me here.

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for the video.
Interesting explanation. I've always been fascinated by the music produced using this instrument. 🤩
Agree with HAC. This woman is AMAZING! Please teach your children how to play this instrument!
Amazing, only just learnt about this from a book by Dean Koontz: 'The Taking'. Hard to imagine how long it would take to learn to play this instrument!
Love it. Wonderful sound.
Amazing! I'd love to try this unique instrument out.
I admit I have never ever heard of this musical instrument before. 👁👁❤🎼 What a strange device but wonderful. 😃🎶
This is excellent! Thank you.
I went to a Lord Huron concert and they used one of these during Way Out There and I had to find out what the heck this thing was.
I would love to play this , every instrument that I have played I've nailed because my instructors kept telling me that I am really good at hearing an out of tune note or wrong note and I adjust it pretty fast and this seems fun and cool to play

Wow, what a fascinating instrument.
Beautiful sound
Fascinating!!!
It's really amazing 🐝🙏

Fantastic!
That is the best theremin playing I've ever seen. I'm used to just seeing it used for silly sci-fi noises. I have the use of a digital theremin in Virtual Reality, I'm going to have to try a few things out on it now.
very impressive!
Amazing!
Thank You Carolina - It's definitely on my bucket list to master this device. I will let you know soon and hopefully release a new composition with the instrument featured. Awesome Homecoming Instrument.

Scales. Lots and lots of practicing scales. That's how you get good at it. I play violin, that's another instrument where you have to learn how to play the actual notes themselves before you start connecting them together into a tune.
I especially like her technique. I've never seen this 'fingering' style of approach. She is very likely also a string player. I'm impressed!!
My dad had one for a little bit when I was 7 and I wish go in and actually was ok on it. I would play with it almost every day and kinda miss it
Fascinating.
blows me away
I need this.
Thanks for this! I never knew about this until I looked up Midsomer Murders. 💕

Amazimg instrument
A lifelong passion of Robert Moog, whose company began by building and selling theremins in the mid 1950s before he developed his modular synth. After losing control of his original company in the 70s to people who ran it into the ground eventually, Bob returned to the theremin, and the Moog Company continues to sell the instrument to this day alongside its synth lines. I see Carolina's instrument here is a Moog. It's a thing of beauty when played well as here.
Whoa this is the coolest thing I've ever seen .you pluck frequency waves like strings .
What an interesting instrument.
got an open theremin v3 which works with arduino, gonna play and practice it well enough that encourages me to buy a proper one
That thing is awesome
Fantastico
It sounds so beautiful, where can I get one? the sound is out of this world! does she have a CD in the market?
