Fun fact: a composer/inventor named Bruce Haack made a similar instrument to this out of *human flesh.* Don't worry, nobody got hurt. He called it the "Dermatron", and it functioned by him completing a circuit between his hand (wearing an electrified bracelet connected to a tone generator) and the forehead of his partner Ted (who was sitting on a sheet of aluminum foil which was also connected). The more of Bruce's hand touched Ted, the higher the theremin-like note was, due to the fact that there was more surface area to complete the circuit.
