Along the way we will talk about oscillator types, body capacitance and much more. <strong>So let's get started!</strong></p> </div> </section><section class=„step-container“ readability=„32“><h2 id=„step1“ class=„step-title“>Step 1: Watch the Video!</h2> <div class=„photoset photoset-video“> <iframe allowfullscreen=„“ frameborder=„0“ height=„576“ src=„https://www.youtube.com/embed/_FytVf5hH88?feature=oembed“ width=„1024“> </iframe> </div> <div class=„step-body“ readability=„39“> <p>The video gives you all the information you need to create your own simple theremin.
