The Theremon: history of Leo Thermen

Hi Anatoliy, good to see you around here!

Sad story, a brilliant mind into poverty, I thought that he made a lot of money with his inventions.

Sounds familiar. (I'm from Australia)

I love the sound of the Theremin. I truly do so much that I might even build one to play.

"More on his arrival in America, he was shot in the lease for 99 years a six-story mansion on 54th Avenue."

Geez this guy never got a break did he?!

That is an interesting read too.

Btw hi Wavebourn. Been reading your posts for many many years. Pretty sure one of the first posts I read on diyaudio.com when I started out was one of yours.

Wow, Termenvox, mastership of remote LC tuning!

Did you know that in Berlin there is a russian professor teaching the theremin?
Bth, some years ago a built my own theremin based on ultrasonic transducers and an atmel processor. You could modulate pitch by gestures at fixed volume level.

Now what stopped you from recognizing the man when he still was amongst us?
In the future do it whence there is time...
