AETHERPHON, global theremin family

{sorry left this out}
Oh the vibrato is cause by the back and forth motion (a combination of twist
and forearm abduction it looks like) pitch is mostly controlled by the full
arm moving front and back, very much a dropped elbow version of Sam
Hoffman's technique.

All theremins are a little different in sensitivity and spacing of the
playing field but there's even more variation in the technique of all the
players, every one eventually puts their own stamp on how they play the
instrument.

So yeah, guess it's partly a combination of both instrument and technique,
though a different player could get the same musical result with a different
style of vibrato.  You tend to adapt to your own instrument for the subtle
bits and may have to adjust some when you play a different one.

Thanks again Pete.
