Product Description

The theremin is one of the oldest electronic instruments, and the only one known that you play without touching. Moving your hands in the space around its antennas controls pitch and volume. Like the Ethervox, the Etherwave is an authentic adaptation of inventor Leon Theremin's original design. The Etherwave is a quality theremin with a design that retains many characteristics of the original theremins, including a five-octave pitch range and reliable spacing between notes for sophisticated playability. Antennas are nickel-plated 3/8 inch brass tube and cabinets are furniture-grade hardwood, finished black. The Etherwave is fitted with an adapter for mounting on a standard microphone stand and is designed for use with a musical instrument amplifier such as the Moog TB15. The Ether wave is shipped with a DVD that contains two Video tutorials: Mastering the Theremin with Lydia Kavina, and Clara Rockmore, the World's Greatest Theremin Virtuosa.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most playable of the modern Theremins, January 31, 2009

I built a kit theremin (from Paia) that has excellent sound, but the distance between the notes tended to wander as the unit heated up. The Moog unit is much more stable and playable musically (as opposed to spacey "wooo-wooo" sounds). Good quality, with a good DVD of instruction and inspiration. If you think about the electronics in this, the price is rather high, but the quality is good and the quantities are low.

The theremin looks great, sounds awesome, has a relatively flat learning curve, and is totally unique. It arrived almost immediately, took less than two minutes to assemble, and everyone who sees it wants to play it. The product quality looks very high (the wood box that holds the circuitry is very nicely finished), and the controls are simple and sturdy. The vendor is quick to ship and has great customer service. My only regret is not having discovered this sooner.

I have been having so much fun learning how to play my Theremin!!! Its a great sound, the video teaches so much, but i found some even better videos to learn how to play on You Tube. I love it so much that i made a custom speaker for it! Moog is always a great company, and this Theremin goes to prove it! Definitely worth the price.
