Basically it works as a radio antenna. Hence, when the frequency of the antenna is cut out by one's hand, it sounds with the respective frequency. It's a musical instrument which is having "untouched" operating system.. haha..
Hence, its frequency can hit a very deep bass.. I was shocked when i 1st hear it when no one is beside it. It was way too deep!

Anyway, another instrument to be introduced is the ondes martenot. Knew this because i saw Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead genius guitarist) played this before. This instrument is more fascinating. It produces many kind of sounds, the idea was initiated from a engineer (frogot his name) wanted to find the frequency of a radiowave during the early 20th century. There is a string, a keyboard and a control board on this instrument. Connected to a series of speakers, it sounds very special.
A gong speaker for percussion/mallet/halo sound. A stringed one for string harmonics/reverb. A normal one and a lyre-shaped loudspeaker (produce sympathetic resonances). Hence, the sound reproduced is very "real" compared to the organ or electronic keyboard..

Erm, just my newly discoveries.. Perhaps it's already very outdated for some of you, just take me as a "suaku" human being! Cheers!
