Just for Fun: Did you name your Theremin?

My Moog Etherwave's name is ...: Thor :... Donno how it happened, it just did lol.

Have you named yours? If so, please share :)

So far, only you, Peter, and Philip have named their theremins to my knowledge. I was hoping Philip would have chimed in by now, but here's his explanation...

"I constructed a wonderful instrument with the assistance of kind friends and mentors. 'Gabriella' was the name given to my theremin by my bride, Dr. Sheri. 'Gabriella' is the name of the muse from the film Rigoletto, who helps heal the soul of a tortured man by singing to him." - Hypergolic

As some of us are aware, Peter owns two historically significant RCA built theremins. One floor-length model once owned by Dr. Samuel Hoffman and used in many of the old suspense and Sci-Fi films of the 1940's and 1950's. Peter calls her 'Sammie' (http://www.peterpringle.com/meethoffman.html).

The second is the RCA theremin once owned by Leon Theremin's assistant, Julius Goldberg. Peter calls this one 'Goldie' (http://www.peterpringle.com/visitgoldie1.html).

I have a friend who calls hers Gort. I guess this is after the robot in The Day The Earth Stood Still.

I call mine "etherwave", "kees" and "little red one".

Bruce Wooley's is called Baby
Olivia's is (The) Greenly Theremin
Ken Brown's is named Aerielle
Bret's is Maunette
David Skelley's is Unkl Claude
Mine are Uncle George and Anastasia

I call my Etherwave most times "putain de merde" (the English translation has been censored), no matter if I'm working on it or playing.

haha Thierry!!!
Des fois, c'est "Maudite Machine" ou bien "Boite d'emmerde" lol

La vie est si belle quand on a une bonne relation avec nos Theremins!

My big tube Keppinger is "Gabriella".
