Differences Between Theremin and Electro-Theremin
In a nutshell, Theremin’s determine pitch based on proximity of your hand to a pitch antenna. Because the Electro-Theremin uses this slider system which has visual reference points along the slider, it’s much easier to consistently hit the note your going for – while still sounding theremin-like.

thanks!

yw. So this is basically "faking" the right hand of the traditional theremin player but not the left hand. The volume remains the same all the time (unless you help yourself out by using the volume knob or some volume pedal to imitate what the traditional theremin player would normally do with the left hand).
