Well, I ordered my theremin at the right time. I got one of the last 80 all-wood ones. It is so beautiful, and a marvel of industrial design (like I have to tell this forum). I hope to some day make a sound to match it's beauty, but alas, as of right now, boy, do I SUCK! I have the Peter Pringle DVD, so that's a start, but I'm trying hard not to get too disillusioned. Damn you, Lydia Kavina, for making it seem so easy!

Great timing on your part.

Good luck with it and if you do get discouraged I could be convinced to take the thign off your hands...

...Me too.

I found it took me nearly a month to get used to the linearity of the pro, but it's worth the effort.

I said the same thing about Clara Rockmore too.

Guess that's why it's the hardest instrument to play "well".

Enjoy that work of art. I missed getting the all wood one by a few days.

Congrats Zerobeat! I know exactly how you feel right about now. The walnut backed E-Pro is quite a beauty and one of eighty ain't a bad thing either! Get ready for hours, days, nights and weeks of seemingly endless fun.

Now, instead of worrying about someone wandering into your control zone, you'll have to worry about your control zone wandering off...

About that music machine,,,and musicians feared being put out of a job by the theremin.

That's some of the coolest 3-D animation out there. I've got to get that DVD.

And don't you know, someone out there will try to build the thing.
