Left handed vs. Right Handed Playing

snuffy,
if you play guitar right handed, you'll find playing the theremin right handed easier to use (right hand pitch)

I'm left handed, polay bass and 'horizontal " string instruments that way.

I play cello and accostic bass right handed, don't ask.

I find it is more comfortable for me to play theremin left handed as well.
I can play right handed if needed, but I'm not as accurate.

Build it right handed.

Thank you so much for clearing that up, Brian R and Andy (Vonbuck). Theremin is so unrelated to any other instrumument, trying to relate it to the string family is just me getting overexcited and mental with excitement. Two weeks ago I had no idea there were Thereminists around, now I are gonna be one!
Going with the inventor and the best player, right handed pitch control is the way I'll build it. I know "how to practice" a musical instrument, so it will be fine. This is gonna be FUN!
