This early electronic musical instrument invented in Russia made it's way to the USA after the Bolshevik revolution. My favorite application was Hollywood's use of it in eerie movie soundtracks such as, The Day the Earth Stood Still. Housed as a display in the Exploratorium Interactive Science Museum of San Francisco, visitors are allowed to play the instrument by passing their hands above and next to the antennas. Note that the electronics of this era were housed in the finest polished teak and mahogany!

Toothpicks, glue, a cutting tool, a creative mind plus a lot of time.
