Why the B3 Pro looks so cool.

*******************

The mike stand (single pole) support is a bad idea for a theremin, especially if the thereminist is obliged to perform on a rickety platform or improvised stage (which is often the case with club work). If the floor moves or shakes, your theremin is going to move and shake along with it, and we all know what that means.

When your instrument is on a pole, any motion at all at its base is amplified at the top. The higher the pole, the greater the sway. You may not be able to stop the floor from shifting when the guitar player jumps up & down, but you can minimize the effect it has on your instrument by building a more stable column for it to sit on. I did that for my E'Pro. You can see it in the first minute or so of the following video. This stand was made from a pvc fence post purchased at a home improvement store for less than ten bucks. The post comes complete with steel fixtures to bolt it to a plywood baseboard.

Thierry: "There are people who like the slightly rounded and slightly asymmetrical triangle waveform of the B3 series."

You can't find a theremin sound that is so whiny, thin and generally offensive that it doesn't have its fans.

If you were going to discuss cuisine with someone, it might be important to know how informed the person is on the subject, and how sophisticated in their tastes. It's fine if someone defends the Big Mac as the greatest culinary experience available to the human palate, but you need to know whether that individual has ever dined at La Pyramide.

We need to take a moment to remember that there are lots of people out there for whom Ke$ha is the greatest theremin player who has ever lived. My question to them is: Have you ever dined at La Pyramide?

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching a major television news channel and the two top stories were that Bin Laden had been killed, and someone threw an egg at Justin Bieber during a concert in Australia.

What a waste! When that egg could have been used to bake a Ke$ha Lorraine at La Pyramide!

In Australia? Must have been an ostrich egg...

HmmmmmmmmmmmMmMmMmmmmmmmmmmmm...

A Big Mac!!! *hungry now*

The Big Mac is not compatible with my dietary laws.

So may I join in with an Extra Value Meal comprising a Filet-O-Fish, French fries and a Coca-Cola?

Thierry, you may have to consider moving to Sao Paulo, Brazil.

THierry - laws are made to be broken ;)

I don't remember the last time I had un Bigge Mac actually... Les pommes frites de Mac Donalds sont les plus bonnes a mon avis!

À la place de "les plus bonnes" je dirais plutôt "les meilleures"... ;-)

Hence the difference between french Canadian and Parisian French :P

Mine is rather an Alsatian French.
