Pitch is controlled by moving the hand or a baton toward or away from an antenna at the right rear of the box. Music is produced by two high-frequency circuits, employing oscillating valves, one being at constant frequency. The resultant oscillation is called ‘heterodyning,' and the heterodyne frequency can be made audible by amplification through a loud- speaker. Used in the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations, it produces a siren-like wailing between notes. For 10 points, name this instrument named after its Russian inventor.
