Not wild. Not spacey. Not exciting. 12 page book about her, Leon Theremin, and the theremin. I believe PAIA has a kit, and also Robert Moog's BIG BRIER. The true story can be found in the archives above. The only one I've ever played with was one at school that someone had built, but not finished. It didn't work right. I carefully tinkered with it until it didn't work at all. Hope this helps, --Toby .
