Terman's Thermin

Terman's prototype t v, the first one in russia, came slightly later than any of these people. He was working at the same time as people like the american charles francis jenkins and the japanese inventor kangiro takaanagi. Shortly after lenin's death, terman was invited to demonstrate his invention to starlin,. who professed himself amazed at the magic mirror. Terman was sent off to tour europe giving demonstrations of his inventions, particularly his musical instrument. It was on this trip that he started using the romanization, leon theremin - how western media invariably referred to him.
