Description
Docs, Multimedia
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 fully-built instrument is finished in a black, all wood cabinet. Additionally there is a professional model available - the Etherwave Pro. All Etherwaves ship with two video tutorials on one DVD: Clara Rockmore: the Greatest Theremin Virtuosa, and Mastering the Theremin, featuring Lydia Kavina.

Features
Antennas: authentic shape, nickel-plated 3/8 in. brass

Cabinet: furniture-grade hardwoods and Birch plywood; Black instrument-grade finish; mounts on standard mic stand

Power: durable rocker switch, 110v wall transformer power supply

Audio Out: 1/4 in. phone jack on front panel, direct audio into your own amp/speaker

Timbre: 2 continuous rotary controls for waveform and brightness

Pitch Range: 5 octaves (3 above and 2 below middle C)

***Just like electric guitars and many keyboards, theremins require amplification. While the Etherwave Theremin Amp is recommended, most keyboard amplifiers or PA systems should also be sufficient.

Moog Music Etherwave Theremin Reviews

"If you like to sing, you will amaze your listeners; if you can't carry a tune, save yourself the frustration. This is a quality"
Feature:
Videos are good, expecially because a theremin is an instrument that most will have to learn without a teacher.

Quality:
It is made well, although since I do not travel with the instrument, I cannot attest to its ruggedness when disassembled and reassembled on a regular basis.

Value:
It is what you have to pay in order to get a good theremin, so it is worth the price.

Desirability:
A theremin is an instrument that always amazes those who hear it. This is not so with, say, a piano, guitar or drumset. Sometimes the theremin seems more interesting than the performer.

Sound:
Clear, penetrating, full sound, with a pitch range that inspires experimentation with new sounds.

Support:
Moog music ws very helpful when contacted. They took an interest in my problem, which was one related to tuning the instrument when tuning was beyond the capacity of the external controls.

Overall:
When I bought it, it was considered to be the one to buy... maybe not the most expensive, but a serious instrument. Now, whenever there is a better instrument out, I will want it.

"Out of this world sound."
The the theremin is not for everyone. Those who connect, will play it for life.

Bob Moog has been making them for a long long time and it shows in the simplicity and reliability of the circuitry, the quality of construction and the ease of operation.

I'm a former accordion player and have noticed that the coordination required to play the theremin is the same. Think about it--right had controls the melody, left had the volume.
