Theremin world record set in Japan [View all]
Japan's musicians have set a new world record for the biggest number of players on the theremin - the musical instrument used without being touched.
In the central city of Hamamatsu, 272 people performed at a concert.
It was organised by Masami Takeuchia, who learnt to play the theremin in Russia - where it was invented almost 100 years ago by Leon Theremin.
A spokeswoman for Guinness World Records confirmed that the orchestra was the biggest ever theremin ensemble.
