Capsaicin Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Should I get one of those nifty theremins and learn to play it? Would that make me a cool person? Discuss...

chaosmachine Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 it would be fun, but if i was going to devote time to learning an instrument, there's others i'd put higher on the list.

Guest cardan Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 yea there's no point in having a theremin besides "ooooh, that's really cool"... unless you actually do something good with it, which is rarely done Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46688-theremin/#findComment-1069478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsaicin Posted June 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 How hard is it to learn the theremin well enough to do something really good with it? And what's considered 'good' for a theremin player?

Berk Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I believe an ondes martenot sounds exactly the same, and it looks easier to play Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Berk's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/46688-theremin/#findComment-1069485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stoppit Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I've got a theremin. It's a really cheap one, though...it was only about £30. It only has one antenna, for pitch (no volume control). It's fun to play around with, but if you want to play it properly, you're gonna need to spend more money than I did.
