The theremin (Russian: Терменвокс, Termenvoks) is the world’s first electronic musical instrument, invented in 1920 by Russian inventor Lev Sergeyevich Termen12. In Russian and English it is also called Thereminvox (Терменвокс; Thereminvox), meaning “Theremin’s voice.” In English it is spelled Theremin or Theramin. This derives from the French-style spelling used by the inventor and is pronounced something like “teremin” or “seremin.” In Japanese, the spelling “teremin” was used for many years in music books3. Around 2000, Masami Takeuchi and others independently began using the spelling “terumin,” which also spread through the film of the same name released in 2001.
