Text Any textual data included in the document THE FRONT - FROM LEFT TO RIGHT - PAGE 1: Everyone Will Play the RCA Theremin — Beautifully! There are few of us, very few indeed, who do not crave musical expression of some kind. Some of us sing in the morning bath... we whistle or hum at our work... unconsciously we give expression to that most universal of all loves, the love of music. But most of us have been denied, for one reason or another, the time and opportunity to study a musical instrument. Yet WE ALL... YOU... can now play, and play beautifully, a wonderfully expressive, marvelously simple, absolutely unmechanical musical instrument! Scientists and musicians of note and of standing have gone on record with their opinions that the Theremin may likely revolutionize the whole world of music. But now... today... this amazing instrument can give you music; music of your own making. It gives you the means of expressing yourself musically... it obliterates any feeling of regret you may have that you did not take up, or keep up, the study of music. You need not be able to read a single note to play the RCA Theremin magnificently! You need only your hands, and the ability to “carry a tune.” The Universal Musical Instrument The most familiar instruments are popular because of pleasing tone and relative ease of playing. But the Theremin can rival the tones of any of them... and can do what many instruments cannot do—produce a singing melody! And it is easiest of all instruments to play! A child... an elderly lady... a skilled musician... a blind man... all can learn to play this incredible instrument with exactly the same facility! It is destined to be the universal musical instrument; people will play it as easily, and naturally, as they now write or walk. The Age of Mechanical Marvels Has Produced the First Non-Mechanical Musical Instrument It has been the fashion to say that everything is done by machinery nowadays... that musical marvels such as the modern radio and the marvelous electrical phonographs have reacted against the development of “home-made” music. RCA’s answer to that line of thought is the RCA Theremin... the first musical instrument in the history of the world that is not a machine! For the piano needs keys, springs, and strings; the violin, a bow and stretched strings... and so through all the conventional instruments, which interpose some sort of mechanism between the music and the player. But the Theremin answers with music to the movement of your hand... you are dependent upon nothing material for the production— PAGE 2: Simple and graceful movements of the hands produce and control the tone of the RCA Theremin. The young lady is playing a note of rather high pitch (note position of right hand) and powerful volume (controlled with left hand). Of the tone and the melody which you conceive in your head and heart! For the music leaps into being from the ends of your fingers... it is, as it were, an extension of yourself. It is vitally and literally your music, brought into being by your body itself. It may be music in its ultimate and greatest form... it certainly is music that will thrill you beyond words with its beauty, its power, its endless variety, its expressiveness—and most of all with the consciousness that you yourself have created it! Those who master and play the RCA THEREMIN know the keenest— RADIOLA DIVISION RADIO-VICTOR CORPORATION OF AMERICA 233 Broadway • New York PAGE 3 - COVER: THE RCA THEREMIN AN ABSOLUTELY NEW UNIQUE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT ANYONE CAN PLAY NOT A RADIO NOT A PHONOGRAPH Not like anything you've ever heard or seen THE BACK - FROM LEFT TO RIGHT - PAGE 4: The RCA THEREMIN Then Aladdin rubbed the lamp. The slave of the lamp appeared, and Aladdin commanded, “Let there be music.” When—oh!—musicians appeared, and discoursed most exquisite music until Aladdin slept. Even Aladdin had to rub the lamp... and even he could not make music for himself! Now, with an unbelievable, almost magic instrument which you need not even touch, you can make, with a gesture of your hands, whatever melody you wish to hear! NEW... UNIQUE... ASTOUNDING! The development of which RCA has played so vital and so large a part knows no limitations of space... of repertoire; and radio reaches everyone. Now: A Further Tremendous Step! Having made the enjoyment of music universally possible, RCA takes another tremendous step—making possible not merely the enjoyment of other people's music, but the actual creation and performance of one's own music! Now, for the first time in the history of music, anyone, without musical knowledge or training of any sort; anyone, without even the ability to read notes; without tiresome or extended “practice”; without keys, or bow, or reed, or string, or wind—without material media of any kind—anyone can make exquisitely beautiful music with nothing but his own two hands! Move Your Hands in the Air — and You Make Music! This sounds impossible... but it is a very real, a thrilling, amazing, gloriously delightful reality. To Professor Leon Theremin, distin— PAGE 5: RCA Theremin -guished young Russian scientist, the world owes a debt for his conception of the idea which has been developed into this unbelievable instrument, the RCA Theremin. What is the RCA Theremin? The Theremin is an instrument which produces musical sound by exclusively electrical means. It has no keyboard, strings, reeds, or other mechanical aids or sources of sound. It employs RCA Radiotrons, two metal bars as antennae, and a loud-speaker. One antenna—a straight, perpendicular bar—controls tone, or pitch—or, if you like, the “voice” of the Theremin. The other antenna, a looped horizontal bar, controls volume, or intensity of sound. When any object, such as the human hand, is brought into the sensitive electric field surrounding the vertical antenna, the field is so affected that audio frequencies (sounds) are produced. These are amplified through the loud-speaker. As the hand approaches the antenna, the pitch of the sounds becomes higher; as the hand is withdrawn, the pitch becomes lower. PAGE 6: The other antenna is also affected by the proximity of the hand. As the hand approaches it, the power of the Theremin’s voice is lessened, in minute gradations down to the faintest whisper; as the hand is moved away from the antenna, power is increased, by the same delicate gradations, to an intensity exceeding that of the most powerful stringed instrument. Thus, playing this almost incredible instrument resolves itself into nothing more complicated than waving one’s hands in the air! The Theremin is the only musical instrument ever conceived which anyone may play without touching! It is the most intimate and personal of musical instruments, for it employs nothing mechanical, nothing indeed but the player’s own mental conception of music, expressed in a few simple gestures of his hands. And it is the simplest and most universal of musical instruments, because no technical knowledge of music, no tedious practice, no long period of study is necessary in order to play it. Anyone who can hum or whistle a tune can play the Theremin... and, as far as technique is concerned, anyone can begin to play it on the same footing with the finest ’cellist, or pianist, or other instrumentalist in the world! Of course, with really serious study, it is possible to become a genuine virtuoso of the Theremin... to produce music as beautiful and as expressive as that of any other instrument. Tone Colors — New to Human Ears But the Theremin does not aim to imitate any other instrument. It is a new instrument, in every sense, and in its own right possesses a voice of thrilling beauty. Vibrato, glissando, and other musical effects are accomplished with utmost ease in playing the Theremin. And, like no other existing musical instrument, it can produce not merely quarter tones, but the most infinitesimal divisions of tone, with no difficulty whatever! The Tone of the RCA Theremin The RCA Theremin is capable of the most exquisite beauty of tone... and of tonal variety, as well. Its range is about three octaves, but it may be adjusted practically for any three consecutive octaves in the scale. In the lower range its tone partakes of the quality of the bassoon, string bass, and other low-pitched instruments; further up the scale the tone is extraordinarily like that of the ’cello; still further, the quality of viola, violin, and flute are closely approximated. Toward the upper end of the scale, the Theremin can, with an amazing verisimilitude, represent the soprano human voice humming; and it can suggest powerfully the ethereal tones of the violin’s harmonics.

Title A name given to the resource RCA's “Treasure Chest” Adventures: Technician Service Caddy (1950–1952) Subject The topic of the resource RCA; Radio; TV; Broadcast; 1950s; Tubes; Description An account of the resource This is a rare "Treasure Chest" tube caddy awarded to RCA technicians as a prize for excellent service. During a specific promotion in the early 1950s, RCA technicians could collect 10 "treasure coins" and turn them in for this exclusive "Treasure Chest" caddy. Only the best of the best were rewarded the caddy as earning those coins weren't easy! Often, many electrical units back then were at times very dangerous to service and repair. Definitely a risky job! This particular designed unit was created and used during the important transitional period from radio to TV tubes. It was only available for a specific promotional campaign making the caddy not available commercially. It's very important historically for how it was awarded to only the most excellent and skilled RCA technicians who could collect those 10 treasure coins during that era. It features a red-brown exterior, black wooden interior, square latches, and a leather-strap compartment for fuses. Several fuses are still sitting attached ready for anything! This is a remarkable historic piece of broadcasting history that features 64+ tubes and tube boxes, tools, handwritten technician notes, and many other assortments; naming this RCA caddy a time capsule frozen in time and truly museum-worthy!

Title A name given to the resource Stylophone Theremin: Portable & Battery-Powered Subject The topic of the resource Theremin; Stylophone; Description An account of the resource The Stylophone theremin was released in January 2024 and it had a lot of interest from new and existing thereminists. It features battery-powered functionality, 1/4" and headphone out, modulation and delay FX, and a built-in speaker. This unit also features an electro-theremin; a type of instrument The Beach Boys used in Good Vibrations. Instead of using the air to play notes you play sliding the notes on a physical sliding mechanism. Author's Notes: Unfortunately, I got a defective unit with a non-working speaker and headphone out. Although I never quite use the built-in speaker anyway. It may be an easy fix. But thankfully, the 1/4" out still works!

LEON GOOSSENS Brother of Eugene Goossens, composer and conductor, Leon Goossens introduced the oboe as a solo instrument to America this season in a program of little known works by classical and modern composers. LÉON THÉREMIN An inventor rather than a musician, Professor Théremin has introduced a new instrument by means of which he draws music out of the ether, thereby providing the year's greatest novelty to two continents. SERGE KOUSSEVITZKY Known primarily as the conductor of the Boston Symphony, Serge Koussevitzky began his career as a soloist on the double bass, an accomplishment which is now his avocation in occasional recitals. THE REVELERS Entering the concert field by an unusual gateway—via radio broadcasting and gramophone recording, The Revelers, a quintet which has developed a remarkable vocal ensemble, are now making their first personal appearances.
