I first saw the Yamaha Tenori-On at the Pacific Northwest Synth-DIY in Renton, WA on 10/25/08.  It looked like a lot of fun so I decided to buy one.  If you don't know what a Tenori-On is, there is a  write-up on Wikipedia.  It was simple to update to V2.0 firmware.

One drawback with the Tenori-On is that it is a performance show instrument designed to be held.  I wanted some type of stand to be able to integrate it into my music setup.  I decided to weld a frame out of 1/4" steel rod that would attach to a microphone stand for a base.

Here is my Tenori-On next to my Moog Etherwave.  I use it to setup basic patterns to practice the theremin with.
