Theremin, the magi-usical instrument

Yeah, I am not kidding Theremin is a electronic musical instrument which is played by a total lack of physical touch. Yeah yeah the electrical engineer in you is already started portraying the distortion of the radio wave field and blah blah blah behind the Theremin but seriously I was amazed that it was conceived as early as 1919 by a Russian, (I have always maintained that those Soviets can do anything given a quart of genuine vodka) To boot here is a video demonstrating the unique sound of a Theremin. Its a cover for the popular Gnarls Barkley's Crazy.



Heres the Wikilink for the instrument.
