    The three radio theremin was originally invented by Tomoya Yamamoto. [1] The theremin is constructed by tuning three separate radios to create a system that acts similar to a stand-alone theremin. [2] The circuitry in each individual radio is used to functionally modulate the sound out of the third, producing similar tonal qualities as a theremin.
