Theremin good for tendonitis?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have tendonitis so I cannot play Bass as much as I would like to anymore. But would playing the theramin be a good instrument for me as it dose not require any physical pressure?

Sure! By any means, keep on keepin' on!! If you can't play bass, you need to find some musical outlet, and the theremin is perfect. It's also a great ice-breaker in conversation.
And it's versatile!

Run it through a good delay pedal.

The Theremin. A great instrument still looking for a place in the world of music. Best advice: don't buy one without trying to play it. IMHO, the hardest instrument to play, easiest to make weird sounds.

Theremin is a cool idea, but not a good instrument, IMO.

Nope! I said it first in another theremin thread.

Theremins are awesome! It'll take some practice to get good technique, but man!
