AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Here is the "test bench voice" of the Keppinger theremin. My 
undeducated, no musical training opinion is that is sounds nice. Now, 
don't start critiquing the "musical" selection. The sucker is here on 
my workbench, all laid out, naked and bare to the world, wires 
dangling out everywhere, wrench attached to a temporary coathanger 
antenna, pocketknife laying on top of the makeshift expression loop, 
and lacking even a cabinet to clothe it in yet. I'm trying my best 
not to knock the two big coils over that are sitting on top of the 
bench.

You can hear high frequency harmonics in the background, I am pretty 
positive from the volume oscillator. Its almost a 2 Mb file, so be 
warned before you click on it.  There may be some flutter modulation 
to the thing...there is a ceiling fan going in the radio shack here 
to keep my dainty self from sweating. Us spoiled deskbound engineers 
aren't allowed to do that too often, or we melt.

There is obviously more work to do. Some of you may have been curious 
how it sounds. I vented to Uncle Howie in a separate email off list. 
He told me he was expecting it from me, as these things would try the 
patience of Job.
