Some feminist blogs will post "trigger warnings" on stories that address sexual violence. In the same spirit, you might want to add a huge INTONATION WARNING to that theremin video for any musicians who might be watching. Holy Moley, that was painful.
Dear Sweet Lord Up in Heaven Above, I know that the theremin is difficult to play well. But you know, every camera has a Stop button.
