The Unusual Times wants to give you a theremin

posted by Drew Lazor

The Unusual Times, the plucky lifestyle arm of our favorite gin distiller, is giving away a theremin prize pack.

In our never ending appreciation for all things unusual, we are proud to announce that TheUnusualTimes.net is giving away a Moog(tm) Etherwave(r) Theremin exploration kit, which includes everything you need to play the unusualist of instruments. Invented by Léon Theremin in 1919, the Theremin allows the player to control two radio frequency oscillators via hand position around two antennae. One of the oscillators controls frequency, and the other volume. The electrical signals of the instrument are amplified through an amplifier.

Drawing is Sept. 10.

This is what came up on our stock photo service when we tried to find an image of Léon Theremin's masterwork
