But a Theremin looks *nothing* like what Mike Love played in the video to
the song. It looked like a Ribbon Controller to me - and a Ribbon
Controller doesn't even come close to being similar to a Theremin. But
then in the booklet in the _Good Vibrations_ boxset, Brian says "Good
Vibrations had a lot of riff changes...bring the echo chamber in, do this,
put the Theremin there, bring the cello up a little louder, ...", so who
really knows. I could go ask Brian - he lives just a few towns away from
me. :-)
