Leon Theremin invented the theremin in 1920.
The electro-theremin is also called a tannerin. Probably the best-known example of electro-theremin music is on the Beach Boys song Good Vibrations.
The instrument used on The Beach Boys on such recordings as "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times", "Good Vibrations", and Wild Honey", was custom-made by trombonist Paul Tanner and Bob Whitsell, and was called the Tannerin. Whereas the original theremin was controlled remotely by the user, the electro-theremin was able to be played with a series of knobs at the side of the machine.
A theremin is a synthesizer instrument used to create very pitchy notes. There is two antennae on the sides of the instrument, one is used to control the volume, the other is used to control the pitch. Depending on how far away your hand or object is away from the antennae, the louder/softer or higher/softer the sound is. The antennae emit radio signals to form a weak form of radar. All I can say for sure that it sounds really cool.
