Product Description

Authentic theremin sound, fun to play. This is the instrument that so intrigued Bob Moog that he has spent the last 50 years building the most influential electronic musical instruments in the world. This is the build-it-yourself kit (unfinished wood cabinet, pre-built circuit board, several wiring points require soldering). All Etherwaves ship with two video tutorials on one DVD: Clara Rockmore: the Greatest Theremin Virtuosa, and Mastering the Theremin, featuring Lydia Kavina.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best theremin for the price, November 19, 2004

The Moog Etherwave theremin is the "Ford Taurus" of theremins... IT's not the prettiest thing out there, but the value and reliability is stellar.

I personally own 3 Etherwaves. I built one as a kit and the other two were pre-built models. The kit comes with a pre-soldered and tested main board, so all you really have to do is wire up the knobs on the front panel and finish the cabinet. You can even put it in your own custom cabinet. I've seen people build them into old radios, mannequins, and even pickle jars!

The Etherwave has a 5 octave range and it's very stable with temperature drift. Compared to other theremins at this price point, the Etherwave is a clear stand-out.

Assembling the theremin wasn't terribly difficult and helps you understand what exactly is going on under there. A lot of fun for any do-it-yourselfers or a great starter for anyone trying to get into the hobby. They provide all the parts you'll need (except for stain, paint, and/or lacquer for the box) and the instructions are simple enough. You will need something like a mic stand or keyboard stand because it doesn't operate very well on a table. Other than that, it's an instrument that's a lot of fun to mess around with.
