Hey all,
I'm looking for a cheap theremin kit (no more than about $150 US? I'm not sure if this is a reasonable price range or what...) and I've gotton kind of lost here. I'd like something of reasonable quality-- not professional, but if I'm spending $100+ on this I may as well get something worthwhile...
I first looked at the kits on thereminkits.com, but I'm hesitant to buy the cheapest kit I can find...I know that's not exactly a good idea when shopping for a musical instrument. Has anyone used one of these?
And I've read several old posts where people have recommended the paia theremax, but I'm confused about the components. Does the basic kit not come with case/antennae? What if I buy just the 'Partial Case Kit' along with the 'theremax kit' -- what is the function of a case anyway? (I'm really not planning on carrying this thing around or anything...)
I'm pretty sure my dad has some basic knowledge of electronics and can help me with construction, so...we could figure out a kit, right?
Wow. I sound pretty clueless, huh? Thanks for any info y'all can give me!
