The above poster is correct, the instrument to which you are referring is a theremin.
It is played by the motion (position, actually) of both hands in order to produce a sound. One hand controls the pitch (frequency) and the other hand controls the volume.
The theremin gained popularity throughout the sixties and seventies (although it has been used since the early 1900's) thanks to bands such as Led Zeppelin and the Beach Boys as well as sci-fi TV shows such as Star Trek.
If you are familiar with basic electronics, you can construct without too much difficulty. See references below for more information on this.
