2010-08 Theremin


A Theremin from a kit but then re-cased to look less ugly and more in keeping with it's ethereal quality.
The case is a wooden box of mystery I found in a junk shop. The kit is the revised one from Jay Car. I did Not add the mods' for more linear tone control or timbre controls. Save that for version II I think.


It's just about what I thought it would be like to play. The volume panel is counter-intuitive in that it's quieter the closer you place you han. I'd like it to be silent until your hand is near.


You adjust the length of the antenna until the tone drops to nothing when your hand is away from it then you're set.
