One Synth You'd Probably Not Want to Even Try Taking on a Plane

Pistol Style Analog Opto Theremin Sci Fi Gun via this auction.
"Ive carefully hand built this theremin into a toy plastic pistol that was used for video game.

You can trigger the theremin by pulling the trigger for momentary use, its on when you pull the trigger and goes off when you let go.

Ive also added a slide switch that also turns it on and off.

You control the pitch by lower your hand over the end of the barrel.

This fantastic sci-fi effects generator is very well built to last years.

THere is no sound emitted until you drop a shadow, or light onto the opto cell so all you have to do is simply cast varying shadows on the opto lens for some great theremin work.

Very easy to control and offers some amazing synth tone patterns, runs on (1) 9 volt battery.

Ive added these controls to the handbuilt circuit:

(3) On/Off LED indicator lamps

and

1/8" output jack
