You are here eBay Theremin. All You Need To Know Before Purchasing a Theremin The theremin is a unique electrical instrument played without touch with an eerie sound that has been used by famed bands throughout history. What to look for in a theremin Different types of this instrument are available on eBay, including the following: Analog Optical Solar Theremin controllers and video variations Factors to consider before buying a theremin The following are some of the factors youll need to consider before purchasing a new or used theremin on eBay: Budget: There are different types of theremins with professional options on the higher price range and fun novelty types on the lower range.
Use: If you are buying one for playing classical tunes, you may want to get one with two antenna for volume and sound control. You can select one with a single antenna for playing practice. Assembled or pre-built: A decent DIY assembly might be pocket-friendly if you have previous experience with electronics and can follow directions closely.
However, a pre-built option comes with the benefit of pre-tuning. Portability: If you plan to travel with your instrument, consider one that is easily portable. Or are you looking for a little of both? Most single-pitch theremins and optical theremins available are best suited for simple noisemaking and not much else. These can still be a lot of fun, but don't expect to become the next Clara Rockmore with one of these.
With a single pitch theremin, you cannot control volume between notes, which tends to be important when playing melodies. For that, you'd need an external control such as a volume control. Two-antenna theremins, on the other hand, allow you to control both the pitch and volume of each note.
It takes a lot of practice to get both of your hands working together, but once you get the hang of it, you'll really enjoy how much control you can have over each note. If you're looking for a little bit of both, the Moog Theremini Theremin might be right up your alley.
Featuring a digital synthesizer engine with built-in effects, it can produce a vast array of sounds from traditional theremin timbres to space-age oddities.
If you want to make music on a theremin, look for one with great pitch linearity. Better linearity means the notes are spaced more evenly apart across the theremin's pitch range. No theremin is perfectly linear, but generally the more expensive models tend to have better linearity and are thus a bit easier to play. More expensive theremins tend to have better linearity, and are therefore more "playable".
If you're considering a kit theremin, it's important to have at least a basic understanding of electronics and a little previous experience with building electronics kits. If you can follow directions closely and you are comfortable with a soldering iron, you can build any kit out there. Kits are also a great way to save a little money on a decent quality theremin.
