I am right handed, so, which hand goes where?

Hello...

I have seen discussions in the past about playing a theremin that involve choosing which is your dominate hand, and what goes where.

I am right handed.  So should my set up be like in this video below?

My build is almost finished.  I am starting to look for instruction videos.

Thanks everyone,

Pitch antenna preferably on the side of your dominant hand, as the pitch side needs the most precise movements and fie muscular control. When right handed, the right hand performs FM, frequency modulation (pitches, intervals, glides, vibrato) and the left hand AM, amplitude modulation (envelope shaping, dynamic volume expression, tremolo).

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me.  My next step is finding learning material.  Any free "How To" videos around?  I thought I would start with that, and then move to the paid learning material.

I am about 95% finished with my Keppinger MK-1 build.  I am very excited!

Thanks again,

You're welcome, mraroid.
Enough free tutorials and lessons around to delve into.

So kind of you to list links to all the free lessons.  I do not play any musical instruments myself, so I know this will be hard.  If I can make some flying saucer sounds, that would help.  Then come the lessons. If I can master the free lessons (and that is a big *IF*), I will move on to paid lessons.

I will save you post and all the links.

Again, many thanks to you.

It will be challenging for sure not having played any other musical intruments. UFO/spooky-sounds are not that difficult though, as that doesn't need precise intonation, playing melodically with precise intonation is both about the muscle control as well as the ear/hearing. Experience with other musical instruments and/or singing usually means that the capacity to hear when a tone is in tune or not and familiarity how different intervals (the distances between tones/pitches) sound. Kip Rosser's lessons would possibly be most suited, his approach doesn't so much build on the preconception that you have some experience with musical instruments and music theory. Whatever direction you may go with it, it can be a fun exploration and it should foremost be fun.
