ELECTRONDE (Theremin) of Martin Taubman

This is an archival news film from 1938, showing Martin Taubman and his “Electronde“. If you look carefully, you can catch an occasional glimpse of the audio cutoff cable that runs from Taubman's left hand (which he keeps at his side) to the Electronde cabinet. The volume for this device is controlled by a pedal placed under Taubman's right foot. The pad under his left foot is there only for balance so that one leg is not higher than the other.
