Is there a video somewhere that would better show the results? The guy's site has this same video but it is a bit disappointing visually. That is fascinating.

There are two older electronic musical instruments than the theremin that I know of. A piano with electrified strings was invented in the 1800s, apparently it actually did change the tone; and the intonarumori, which were invented in 1913 and were basically boxes that made different types of static for use in one of the earliest forms of noise music (inspired by Futurism).

Even without knowing the history of its patent, I know a Theremin was used in the TV Dr Who Theme in the early 60s; also in Star Trek; and by Brian Wilson on Good Vibrations. But I think it was used even earlier, in 50s science fiction movies. So its presence in the public domain is at least 50-60 years old. If that's your idea of 'newest' Joe, then presumably you're aware of electronic instruments that pre-date electricity? The web is notorious for people parading their ignorance as knowledge, but it you know something we don't, Joe, then let us know. Otherwise, how about a nice polite apology?

The original patent for the theramin was submitted in 1928 by Léon Theremin. If you can find an older electronic instrument, then please submit it to the museum of natural history.

It's one of the newest. Sorry Yuri but the Theremin is not “the oldest electronic music instrument in the world.” It’s one of the newest.
