AETHERPHON, global theremin family

use non metallic paints - some black pigments are
conductive. i would expecct that gold and sliver
paints may also be conductive

iwould expect that safe non-toxic acrylic paint should
be usable.

instead of painting the actual theremin, you could
just affix wooden or cardboard panels with either glue
or velcro and paint the panels. you could also use a
canvas, paint it and wrap it around the theremin and
staple it to the bottom of the case. both solutions
are easily reversable and changeable.

my advice is that you really want the audience
watching and looking at you, not your instrument.

then again, i kow an artist who covers his cars with
doll parts, toys, hoses, mannequin parts, gee jaws and
spinners. the cars still run fine.
