Great Sounding Theremin

Want a good theramin at a good price? Then you don’t need to read a review. It’s not as if there are hundreds of them out there to choose from. In fact I think this is pretty much it. So you’re stuck. But, I might add, stuck in a good place. I gavve it to my daughter for Christmas and it was much more popular than the digeridoo.

This is an awesome little device for making spooky sounds. Makes a really nice sound which is even better if you add reverb and delay. I also ran it through a Big Muff fuzz pedal which made it sound amazing. It does not have a volume control so you need to use a pedal if you want that control. It is also very light, I had to tape it down to feel secure about it. I used it in my music classroom and let kids try it. They absolutely loved it! You have to have an amplifier and guitar cord for it to make sound. Any little guitar amp with reverb would probably sound great.They also make one that mounts on a mike stand. I would probably get that one if I bought it again just so it would be easy to play. But for the money this is a deal.

I am not happy with this product! It works but as soon as you turn it on a tone starts! I bought the one that you mount to a mic stand and that one worked the way I excepted. It should only make sounds once you put your hand close to the antenna.

Hard to figure out how to use, but after some youtube tutorials, started to get it down. A lot of fun to use live and in the studio. It is a plastic box, so admittedly it’s not anything super fancy for the price you’re paying. I might have just paid a little more for a different one that’s built a little sturdier if I could go back, but I do like this one and appreciate that it’s easy to transport. Cool as a novelty sound or for dope samples.

i use this heavily effected in a studio type of setting. it is best suited for this type of situation in my opinion. not super portable or mount-able. the hard wired power cable (non detachable) is a little short and kind of a pain. it would be rad if the construction material had more weight to it so while it is lying on a flat surface the weight of the cable wouldn't cause it to become as prone to being knocked over. sounds great though. for my purposes i wish it went an octave lower to hit bass/sub bass frequencies. i also wish it didn't sound so farty at the lower frequencies haha but i guess that's how oscillators work.

The Theremin makes noise continuosly, there is no zero volume. Using the pitch control creates sound effects but is so far icant make it play a tune. But the most annoying fact is that it was sent to me needing electronic modification before i could play it...AND I AM NOT AN ELECTRICIAN...AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THIS ON THE WEBSITE.All in all i felt quite ripped off with a really cheap product. I didn,t send it back because i had to make the modification before icould even use it.The company knew they were sending me a Theremin that was not wired for this country..Australia, so they sent me a warningpage with my purchase...blah blah blah , you must not use this as is...modify it like this.If they were an HONEST COMPANY THEY WOULD HAVE SENT ME AN E-MAIL TELLING ME OF THE NEEDEDMODIFICATION AND GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO REFUSE THE PURCHASE AND GET A FULL REFUND .ANYWAY THEY DIDNT DO THAT SO I ENDED UP WITH A REALLY CRAP FAKE NOISE MAKER.RUBBISH>Sincerely,M.

I have always been fascinated by the theremin as an interest, and this one is easy to use, and very affordable for someone exploring an interest. Just messing around my first day I was playing the Doctor Who theme, I don't know what the comparison would be for someone who has experience playing the Theremin, but where most were over $300, I appreciated one that could get me started.

Small and easy to transport.Has variable pitch. Fun!
