I practically fell off the chair laughing at > the mental image of this - nice one! :-) I was wondering if anyone would "get" that one. For the uninitiated, the Theremin CAN be played beautifully. See Clara Rockmore's recordings. Unfortunately, just breathing will throw off your pitch significantly, and you have NO frame of reference for where the notes are located in space. Even a slide trombone has mechanical stops, and the notes are fixed relative to the stops. IF you can get the technique, IF you can give it fiendish concentration, IF the instrument is cooperating, you can make beautiful music. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
