Nor has M. Martenot been con- tent to stop here. From the left hand corner of the instrument ex tends a shelf, not dissimilar to a cigar box, on which are a set of lit- tle buttons. By pressing these he controls the timbre, or colour, of his tone. Thus the sound is, some times lige the tone of a violin, a flute, a 'cello'or can even similate the quality of the brass instru ments.

After the success scored by Prof Theremin at his concerts in Parle, in 1927, he redoubled his efforts and on April 31, 1928, gave a de- monstration of his instrument to an elite of musicians and scientists in the Salle Gaveau, in Paris and afterwards was presented publicly. The instrument was apparently successful and has been established to the extent it is taught in many of the muele schools of Paris.
