My wife and I like to watch Midsommer Murders and even have some of the DVDs. Last night we were viewing the "Production Notes" section of the DVD and learned that the cool theme music is played on a theremin:

I didn't know what the heck a theremin was but I looked it up and it is a pretty interesting instrument. Turns out Jimmy Page played a theremin:

There are also several composers that have composed specifically for a theremin. Has anyone ever seen a theremin in real life?

Most famous theremin "solo" is the one on the Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations". Very cool sound.

There is an awesome documentary on the theremin. I believe it is called something like Electric Odyssey.
