AETHERPHON, global theremin family

You have certain got me laughing with your comment "as letting a novice loose  
on a theremin is not necessarily a customer-friendly action".  I had not even thought of that. lol!
Oh, just let me imagine what could happen.  Maybe I should take my cassette player along for the experience. lol!

Seriously, thank you for the heads up on this.  I really didn't think about it.  Also, I really appreciate your finding these locations where there might be a theremin.  Virginia Beach would be perfect.  I'm about one hour from there.  I use to play in the symphony in Richmond, but that's not so close--about two hours north of me.  I have a friend that has a music store in Norfolk, a city even closer to me, however he does not have any theremins.  I was amazed that he had heard of them, but though he is a jazz musician (drummer), he has never physically seen one.  It would be wonderful if they had one in Virginia Beach.  I'll check it out.
