1927 Times 12 Dec. 11/1 Professor Theremin and his collaborator play duets for two ‘theremins’ and piano.

1934 S. Robertson Devel. Mod. Eng. x. 418 Miscellaneous examples..of the taking over of a surname..and using it as a common noun are boycott,..theremin, and zeppelin.

1950 R. P. Blesh & H. Janis They all played Ragtime x. 199 And then those long metal cylinders, different lengths. The players wore gloves and would pull on them and make weird sounds like a Theremin.

1971 Daily Colonist (Victoria, Brit. Columbia) 13 Feb. 25/5 Greenway, of Vancouver, will play a theremin. The instrument was developed and introduced to the public in 1920 by Leo Theremin, a Russian scientist. A box-like apparatus, it produced musical tones from two electric circuits running through vibrating radio tubes. The player stands in front of the theremin and moves his hands through the air... The left hand controls volume or tone, and the right hand raises pitch as it nears the instrument and lowers pitch as it moves away.

1974 Times 5 Feb. 11 Most illuminating of all were the live performances of Varèse's Ecuatorial,..its original thérémin part now played by two..ondes Martenot.

1982 New Scientist 16 Dec. 753 Moog recently recorded her playing the theremin.
