	I just got back from Orlando, visiting Disney World.  At the
	"Monster Sound Show" in the Disney-MGM Studios Theme park,
	there was a theremin in the lobby!  They played the opening
	sequence to "Forbidden Planet" on an old round TV tube, while
	you play the theremin.  You can vary the volume with the left
	hand and the pitch with the right.  I thought that you could
	vary more than just the volume and pitch on a theremin.  Maybe
	the "beat" frequency, too?  I would like to know more about
	these things and, possibly, build one.  Does anyone have any
	pointers to magazine articles/schematics?  Anyway, thanks in
	advance for an info.
