Whilst surfing Google videos (not in 'work' time, of course!!):

As you can see, he's come up with a very interesting, and very secure technique (secure as in, with this he is almost guaranteed to get the note, but at the expense of range).
The thing that strikes me is his left hand (volume). Given that he's an Ondes Martenot player, he is obviously used to having to depress a button to generate a tone - and as such this is reflected in his playing (which isn't bad at all) by placing his hand beneath the volume antenna, and using a downward action to play.
I just found this interesting, and thought you all might too :-D
Have fun,
MC.
