Hmmm, Aaron  I'm thinking that you will never get a clean sine wave 
out of a theremin -- at least nothing on the order of a digitally 
generated wave (plug in the frequency, and the wave comes out)... 
But maybe there are folks out there that know more about the 
theremin.  By nature it's a 'dirty' analog device like a violin and 
with variations in air resistivity alone between the device and the 
hand, the interference outcome will always be full of noise 
superimposed on harmonically-stacked sines...
