You need mad oral skills.

Spot on.
Play whatever speaks to you. The rest will follow.

Can you build your own theremin? My college BF did and now he’s a rich Silicon Valley VC Angel married to a patent lawyer. He did also play guitar.

What you needs is mad ninja skills.

For those of us who had to Google what a Theremin is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin

-- Plays 3 instruments and still had to look it up

Girls, no. Your grandmother, yes.

I will. Love the accordion.

Most versatile instrument out there.
We even play the Accordavox— electric one you can plug into an amp and be even louder!!
You can play rock music, most piano music, and of course there are many many accordion songs in Spanish music, mid eastern music, Jewish music, Russian, and of course the polish polkas. Plus various pop music interludes. Spanish Eyes was written for the accordion; is pretty famous.

My roommates in NYC once tried to embarrass the hell out of me during our banking days by dragging out an accordion at a large party. I showed them! And yes, every Jewish guy in there wanted me.

- female (also play 6 other instruments, accordion was my first, then piano, violin, flute/sax, etc)

The will adore you in the Villages.

No!

Hey, my FIL played the accordion for decades (and really well), and though the ladies didn't exactly throw themselves at him, my MIL loved him. Maybe that was in spite of the accordion, though....

The theremin is so very horror-movie-soundtrack, OP.

Go full-on historical instead. Learn to play the glass armonica. If it was good enough for Benjamin Franklin, surely it's good enough for you. He was actually a babe magnet, Ben Franklin was. Look it up.

Accordian, yes. Theramin, get used to celibacy.

Or theramin ? I’d be a musician
