Live Zoom: Tuning the Theremin (Workshop)
🕑 Added 2023-08-11 17:58:55 +0000 UTCHello my dear patrons,
Thank you for joining the Tuning Workshop today! :)
We talked about:
– Adjusting the volume field
– Adjusting the pitch field
– Learning finger positions 1, 8, 5 and "lazy" 4
– Tuning the theremin to FP8 and "lazy" 4 and to FP8 and 1
– Tuning octaves in different ranges by using our body capacitance or the response knob
I hope you learned a lot today! :) Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Hi Emily, two people can have a really similar body capacitance and hand span, but it will never be exactly the same. So, it's correct, the teacher cannot tune the instrument for the student.
Česćena Carolina, your flexibel chain of four oktaves has impressed me, it is beautiful and very helpful. I like your videos and your excellent explanations. Přeju wamaj rjane tydźeń.
Hi Carolina, I enjoyed the masterclass! I asked you about people’s individual capacitance… is that really a thing? I suspect it differs according to bone density, individual body mass indicator and so on. I know that I myself always destroy battery operated. watches - they just stop!Theremin is unlike a violin - a teacher can’t tune it for a student - but in your experience are people (apart from hand size) really that different? Given the same body size and hand span, will people be different as capacitors? Very curious…!
