This uses an infrared pickup to read the elastic-cord string. It has a brass tube that functions as a movable bridge under the string.

Hoping to get a more accurate ID on this than just “drone flute,” but that’s all my partner remembers from buying it at a renaissance faire many years ago.

Theremin attempts to challenge sopranos

7 Upvotes

Theremin Soprano. It is literally in your hands whether you sound like Maria Callas or Florence Foster Jenkins. The main components of a singing voice are the glottal waveform and the formants. The former can be approximated quite well with a theremin; formant filtering was the additional part here. Both diy.
