This instrument is played without being touched and it's called the theremin. It was one of the first electric instruments and was invented in 1919.

It has two antennas and the upright one controls the pitch. The closer your hand gets, the higher the pitch. The loop antenna controls volume and the closer you get, the softer the volume. Carolina Eyck specializes in playing the theremin and has an entire YouTube channel dedicated to it. It's super sensitive and the simple touch of your pinky could change the pitch by a major third. You can control the theremin with more than just your hands. Think you have what it takes to master the theremin?
