Model ET-3
About the Electro Theremin / Tannerin: This is the Ultra-Rare Instrument heard on The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds", "Good Vibrations", and "Wild Honey". Never mass produced, it has the beautifully eerie sound of the theremin, but much easier to play! Similar to the Ondes Martenot and Analogue System's French Connection (but with the sound built-in).

About this Electro-Theremin:
Completely re-created by Therevox to have an evenly-spaced keyboard!!! This makes it much easier to play. The oscillator in this is incredibly stable and creates a pure sine wave. I tuned it and turned it off for a few days, only to turn it back on in perfect tune! I love it but I must pay some bills so it's my loss and your gain! Only 14 were built in the last year and Therevox says they will not build anymore for 3-5 years. The only thing I couldn't test is the skew voltage control, because I don't have a proper control for it. The skew knob works fine, though. I felt I should mention it so buy with that in mind. Otherwise everything is tested and guaranteed to work upon arrival. Includes manual and AC adapter.
