Hello all,
As I mentioned in a previous post, I had my semi-public debut last weekend at my synagogue retreat talent show. I played "Over the Rainbow" to a jazz piano arrangement I recorded and edited. This went O.K. overall. I was pleased at how the accompaniment sounded -- someone told me afterward she thought it was a karaoke track I had downloaded. I had trouble getting the pitch field set on the theremin -- although I'd let it warm up for more than 15 minutes, I could not get zero beat set properly -- the intervals were narrower than I was used to, and this made using vibrato pretty impossible. The piece was very well received, I think because nobody had ever seen a theremin played live before, and there was just that "wow" factor of someone playing the air. I was not satisfied w/the performance, but it was at least respectable, and nobody was injured.
The B3 is behaving normally now that I am home. What could have caused this difficulty?
