THEREMANIACS THEREMIN Kit includes everything (but the case) to construct a quality true Theremin without any soldering! Professional laser etched circuit board! Two different and distinct output sounds! Quality components and construction incorporating true inductor coils for a genuine Theremin - Not a poor sounding Integrated Circuit design! Theremin is guaranteed for parts and workmanship. All high quality parts in a classic dual oscillator heterodyne design! It comes with an antenna, battery holder, tuning tool, knob for the sensitivity control, a short information sheet and even a quality alkaline battery! A three conductor 1/4 inch jack is pre-wired so that insertion of a guitar cord turns it on. It is tuned and working right out of the shipping box. Incorporates high quality polystyrene and silver mica capacitors for stability and drift free operation. High quality capacitors are the most important feature for a stable oscillator circuit. These frequency determining capacitors are also embedded in silicone to prevent drift. Changeable output tone from sine wave to sawtooth wave.

User Reviews of the Theremaniacs Theremin

- Very simple, very basic intro theremin. Proximity of your hand (or anything else) to the antenna affects pitch. No volume control (a la Moog theremin), so add a volume pedal if you want that. Circuit board comes already assembled...and both of mine came covered in hot glue, so no bending :( Output can be adjusted between sine/square. The whole thing can be housed in the casing of your choice, as long as it's not metal. Sounds great w/ heavy reverb, delay, flange, or other modulation FX.
- Good Points: *inexpensive *preassembled...no wiring/soldering *can be custom housed in (almost) whatever you like
- Bad Points: *no volume control *pitch control not as precise as other theremins, but whatever

- I purchased two kits and put them together quickly and easily despite limited understanding of electronics. Simplistic, yet well designed as well as sturdy.
- Good Points: Excellent sound quality. I placed two kits in the same housing - one configured for the clean sound, the other set up with the "saw-toothed" sound. I'm now using it in a band during live performances! AND making theremins for other bands who fall in love with it!!
- Bad Points: So much of the kit is put together, I didn't learn as much about electronics as I'd like, but I guess that's what books are for....

- The quality of this theremin is wonderful. I have had mine for two years . The only trouble came from the pot. It was replaced by theremaniacs for free. This is one of two things I use for noise. I run mine through a rat distortion (early 80's),Boss reverb/delay,and a rocktec chorus.
- Good Points: Easy to work with. Mountable in anything you want. Theremaniacs replaces any bad parts for free. Best quality for a hand made instrument.
- Bad Points: No bad points at all!!!
