"It is played by the motion of the hand in the magnetic field around the antenna without touching it! Built in a wooden case with a vintage classic look in brown wood ( black wood finish available at extra charge ) It's unique 'voice' is everywhere: first Star Trek series, old Sci fi/ horror films, orchestral compositions, actual movies and tv commercials. Many bands/artists had been playing it for decades, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, J.M Jarre, Blur, NIN, Massive Attack, Portishead, Eels, Gorillaz, Goldfrapp, great dj’s, etc"

Technical Features

1- Analog Theremin, handmade, fully assembled and ready to play!

2 - The circuit is a dual Hetherodyne oscillator ( like the Classical 1950´s designs used in countless Sci-Fi Movies ). The same type as the most prestigious theremins.

3- This design has a practical range of about 4 octaves over a hand distance of 13 inches between the antenna and the hand. The antenna can be easily unscrewed and placed inside the box to carry or put the theremin away.

4- It has two controls, one for pitch tuning and one for signal level , and a red light on/off led. The controls are placed far enough from the antenna, to enable any adjustment without changing the pitch of the sound

5- Signal output via 1/4" Mono Jack Socket (Similar to used on e-guitars and synthesizers)That allows the theremin to be connected to any guitar or keyboard amplifier , PC soundcard or mixer.
If you wish to connect it to a Hifi amplifier, you can use an easy to buy ´Jack RCA adaptor´

6- The Unit works with a single 9 volts battery - not included - We can add a Power Socket at extra charge ( see ´Custom preferences´ below )

7- Size:230mm. x 100mm. x 45mm.

8- Shipped in a box and with useful easy instructions to get the best results

9-TWO YEARS full guarantee in faulty parts, labour and shipping damage ( rarely needed )

Custom Preferences available at extra charge

Power Supply Socket: The theremin is optimized to work with a 9v alcaline battery to give more than 50 hs of continuous playing. Some customers prefer to connect the unit to the 220v (110 in USA). So we can modify the circuit to add a socket where you can plug a simple cheap 7-12 volts adapter ( not included ).

Black Wood Finish + Red or Blue led: Hand painted case."
