ahm..........?am i alone here or something? :)

Sorry - I have no idea who made Jimmy Page's theremin.

I don't recognise it from this photo: http://www.ledzepblues.hpg.ig.com.br/Fotos/jimmy29.jpg.

Probably it was custom built. Does anyone here know?

Perhaps someone on a Led Zeppelin discussion board might know.

I suggest you listen to some Led Zeppelin tribute bands on mySpace etc. (there are plenty of them!) and when you find one with a theremin sound that is accurate to the Led Zeppelin sound, ask them which one they use and if they have had any problems with it.

uuum....?u mean not all theremins sound the same as jimmys does? i want the one that he used on song remains the same movie on whole lotta love....

Single antenna theremins are very variable in quality.

Plus, you'd need to find out what amp he used, what speaker cabinet he used, what effects he used...

As Gordon pointed out, it was probably a custom unit since I doubt there was anyone producing theremins in number at that time.

I'd recommend taking a look at Chuck Collins' theremins at Theremaniacs, on his website or on eBay. It is an affordable, single antenna theremin with a great sound (from what I've heard).
