Dear Thereminists--
I recently bought a Moog Etherwave Theremin which I am in love with. I've practiced countless hours on it, and have been making steady improvement (thanks to many of your tips here and on youtube). However, I have a technical question/problem: I get the pitch set up so that the intervals are the way I like them (open the hand comfortably wide for a 5th). But then during the playing of a piece the Theremin gradually changes, so now if I open my hands the same distance it is way more than a 5th. Then I have to reset the pitch to go back to what I would consider my "standard" setting--only to have it change again after a few minutes. Is this normal, and should I live with it, or can I do something to set it so that it stays where it should for longer than just a few minutes?
Many thanks!
