Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
I thought you might be able to offer some good advice.
The Etherwave. It's what I played until I recently traded up. It's good enough (i.e. linear enough, with well-spaced notes) to play musically (as opposed to just making a racket), but still reasonably priced. You can buy one discounted from Zzounds: [link]
It's made by Bob Moog's company, who also made that midi theremin (which was a thing of beauty -- I got to try it out once).
Thanks, Jon!
Har. I just clicked on the sample sounds from that theremin, and my cat -- who doesn't react to ANYTHING on the tv, cats, dogs, nothing -- totally freaked out.
Now I'm tempted to buy a theremin and see if I can get my cat to play it. I could give him a treat every time he got close enough to make a noise out of it.
Although maybe a cat could not control both the pitch and volume at the same time. Better get another cat.
Now I'm curious. I remember Valerie from Mistle Thrush thanking her dad for helping her build her theremin. Do they also come in kit form? Or is that more a "mad scientist" project?
I googled "theremin kit" and came up with a lot of matches....

If any of them are porn, I do not want to know.
And after that, saying "I don't Google enough" sounds all sorts of wrong...
Or if you want to be super extra special double-fudge geeky, you can forgo a kit and build a theremin from scratch: [link]
