Nick Urata from DeVotchKa plays both the Theremin and Bouzouki. I had the chance to play a Theremin once......awesome instrument operated by moving a hand by the metal and manipulating the magnetic energy between the pole and your hand. And a bouzouki is not to be confused with like a sitar or mandolin.....similar but of different origin. Images in image attachments of both.
