Well, they had a bit of help in the form of matryominists, the name for musicians who play this unusual, yet adorable, instrument.
It’s the invention of Masami Takeuchi, who mastered the theremin in Russia, where the instrument was invented by Léon Theremin in 1920. He spread the word of the theremin by teaching and performing in Japan, eventually establishing a touring ensemble. To bring a little innovation and ingenuity to his theremin group, Takeuchi placed the frequency antenna inside a Russian nesting doll. Thus the Matryomin was born.
Messes with the entire idea of playing with dolls.
