- The theremin is the only musical instrument played without touching anything -

Wounded Warriors - Since I have retired, my effort today is to custom build and give away a musical instrument known as the theremin. This is for a special classical musician that volunteered his/her life to be our warrior and now has physical limitations that prevent their original path to music. As Clara Rockmore had to readapt her musical genius, I can assist a local So California individual so they can explore my redesign of a 90 year old unusual electronic instrument.

Single arm movement with good finger control of one hand will allow an individual to learn and play the theremin; while standing up or sitting down. Volume control as seen in this picture as the horizontal chrome piece to the left of sitting can be redesigned and independently positioned anywhere to use another body movement if necessary.  Christopher
Peter Pringle, one of the finest musicians today demonstrates the 1929 Samuel Hoffman RCA Theremin.

Imagine a sound... a "musical instrument" you have never heard before, 
capable of expressing the voice of a beautiful angel as he shines 
his light onto the shadow of a mothers loneliness. 

Her stare is drawn through a window gripped by the darkness of night, 
it's snowing and it is Christmas.

The children have long gone to bed . . . the fireplace dims.

Father you care for everyone...

Please bring home all Warriors in War.   Christopher
