Createmusic from the ether; eerie sci-fi, psychedelic, ambient, rock,classical etc.. by moving the hand towards or away from the pitchantenna.
Believed to be the earliest electronic musical instrument developedin the 1920s, the theremin – named after its inventor Leon Theremin,is unique in that it is played without being touched!
The science bit: This is a transistorised, 2 Oscillator, Analogue theremin,using the heterodyning principle.
It has coils in its oscillators that react with each other to generate the classic theremintone.
Although this is a mini theremin, great care has been taken developing a true analogue theremin sound. It is very stable (stays in tune!) and has a fully playable 5 octave range, from 0 – 50cm (20″)between hand and antenna.
There’salso a vintage germanium diode in the detector stage and it comes with controls for volume and pitch adjustment. You can alsouse a standard passive volume pedal.
Not included, is a 9 volt, PP3 or Duracell # MN1604 battery (rectangular – commonly used in guitar fx pedals) as we are not allowed to send them through the post any longer.
The theremin has no internal speaker, so it must be used with an amplifier. Not just to amplify but also for the theremin to work properly.
Instrument amplifiers for electric guitars, keyboards etc. work well. Hi-fi, active computer speakers can work but may need an appropriate lead. The theremin has a MONO 1/4″ (6.35mm) jack output for a standard electric guitar lead. It won’t power earphones, you will need an amplifier.Click on the movie and audio clips to hear what it can do. Theadded effects (played through a zoom GFX-707 guitar FX processor)are described in the links.
Because there are no keys or frets etc, the Theremin isntthe easiest instrument to play, but ithas to be the most fun!
We have been making theremin’s for over 20 years so bid with confidence.
