This was was super hard to believe it was a SYNTHESIZER from 1941. It sounds exactly like a violin.

I think the Ondes Martenot has a very beautiful sound.

Thadius Cahill invented probably the earliest synthesizer called the Telharmonium. The earliest cable entertainment service - all the way back in the 1890's!

Leon Theremin developed the next synthesizer. It took a great deal of skill and slight of hand to play with the proper finesse.

Great find on the first one. I was interested in what it could possibly sound like.

Theremins are awesome. It would be cool to have one.
