The Theremin is the spookiest synthesizer you'll ever see. This classic electronic musical instrument was invented in 1919 and the best part is that you can play it without using your hands. The closer you get to the upright antenna, the higher the pitch. The distance from the other antenna controls the volume. Though it's pretty hard to play and sounds pretty spooky, we are absolutely in love with it.
