I love the cabinet.  Funny that you should make this.  A theremin has
been high on my list of projects although I was planning on perhaps a
walnut rectangular box with exposed antenna.


Thanks.

I made the note out of Poplar since I am planning on painting it. The beam and
corpus are one piece. The flag is glued on using a #0 bisquit. I ran
out of Poplar
so the base is a piece of Oak that is leftover from a tree that was in
my backyard.

The shape came from a Metafont musical font. Minor modifications to compile
with Metapost, a couple of changes to the height and width and I was able
to create a paper template to use on the bandsaw.
