Well!
As far as I am concerned, the theremin is THE instrument, however, I want, and have wanted, to learn a conventional instrument.
I've tried guitar, clarinet, trumpet(!), ukulele, you name it, and last weekend I built my theremin.
Yesterday, I turned in my clarinet and told my teacher, Sorry, but well, you know how it is when you discover the theremin..... he didn't know how it is, hehe I wonder if he'll stay awake now wondering if he'll be put out of business by this demonic multi-oscillator'ed device....
Anyway. Today I went back to the long-suffering music store and rented me a FLUTE.
And, well, getting a note, piece of cake! In fact, getting all kinds of notes, piece of cake, really. I need to get the book the band kids study because there are more keys than I have fingers so just pressing stuff at random, my scales go all over the place, hehe they're New Math scales.
But, could this be, a conventional instrument that might almost be kind of as good when I don't have my Theremin handy?
