Hey there. I am a fairly new theremin player so please bare with me..
As of always, my theremin pitch worked fine. it hit zero beat right around where it should, I had 24 inches of playing range from the antenna.
I recently brought it somewhere for the first time. now it's back in my house, I put it back together. I can't seem to get the pitch right. My zero beat is only when I put my hand about 10 inches away fromt he antenae max, and if I bring my hand more than 10 inches away the pitch starts to go back up again. I put the pitch knob on the most counterclockwise setting, and this is the best range I can get, 10 inches. any more clockwise and the range is even less.
did I bang up my theremin when I took it out? I didn't think so. does this problem sound familiar to anyone? Anyone have advice? I don't want to have to send it to Moog if I can help it.
Thank you so much for the help!
Lauryn
