A while back I received a message from a list I'm on about a chap who was looking for the best material to cover a new keyboard he was designing. He found it in the material used to make women's swimming suits, the punch line was envisioning him going up to someone and asking to feel their suit.

But the instrument is finished and it's intriguing.

Surely 2-D Theremin, not 1-D. Keyboard has Length and Depth (front to back).
