It’s much better, you just have to adjust to lots more free time (YAY) and less money to spend on stuff you don’t need. My priority is being idle and happy above being rich and over worked.

I bought one on eBay, whist very very drunk, as egged on by my house mate who knew I’d wanted one for a while. I then told everyone I knew, before the thing had even arrived. Luckily when it did arrive said house mate lent me effects pedals and someone else lent me an amplifier. Then I got an email from an acquaintance (we share a friend) asking would I like to join his band and even though i said I’d only had the theremin a week he still wanted me to join. I went to a band practice and a week later was on my way to a gig in Leeds to play improvised theremin with a crazy punk band. Fast forward about 10 months, and I love/live with the bassist from the band and have played in Berlin and all over the UK, before giving the theremin to someone else to play (due to injured arms). And I’ve met lots of people I wouldn’t have otherwise met. So go forth an make spooky noises and spend the rest of your life explaining to people what a theremin is!
