I found one word in Be Frank With Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson.
1. theremin – “She shepherded him out to me without touching him once, a tour de force performance worthy of a theremin virtuoso.”
A theremin is an early electronic instrument controlled without physical contact by the thereminist. I found this video of a theremin performance fascinating.

The performance shown in that video is totally weird! And so interesting! Thanks for posting it!
Nope!
I was listening to the audio of Be Frank with Me and didn’t catch that word at the time. Fascinating word and instrument!
Completely new to me too. That performance on the video is fascinating.
Clueless! Thanks for sharing the video.
Wow!
Never saw that before, it was fascinating.
That song always gets to me, and the video really is remarkable! Theremin and thereminist are new-to-me terms.
Never heard of one or seen one. Looking and listening at the video now.
Wow! That is pretty amazing!
