So, what is a theremin?

Here is a short definition:

The theremin or thereminvox (originally pronounced [teremiːn] but often anglicized as [ˈθɛɹəmɪn]) is one of the earliest fully electronic musical instruments. The instrument was invented by Russian Léon Theremin. The theremin is unusual in that it requires no physical contact in order to produce music and was, in fact, the first musical instrument designed to be played without being touched. The instrument consists of an array of circuitry including two antennas around which the user moves his or her hands to play.
