It’s a Theremin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin

Most famous for low budget sci-fi sound effects and the Beach Boys “Good Vibrations”.

Here are a couple of cool ones in case anyone wants to check them out. The Moog one is pretty classic: http://www.moogmusic.com/theremin/?section=product&product_id=14

And the Frostwave Spacebeam is a cool one by an indie hardware guy: http://www.frostwave.com/spacebeam/
