RCA Theremin

In 2001 I went to a book signing / recital in Costa Mesa, California. The book was Theremin: Ether Music and Espionage by Albert Glinsky. My friend Charlie Lester performed a few numbers on his left-handed Moog Music Ethervox.

 

There were a number of other enthusiasts there, including one who brought in an exceedingly rare instrument, this original RCA theremins from the 1930's. I don't remember the exact number that were made, but it was in the low-mid hundreds.

 

(I don't remember why the crop is so lousy, I can only assume somebody was standing right to the left of it.)
