Two Etherwave Pro Theremins on eBay

It is somewhat rare to see an Etherwave Pro for sale these days, let alone two at once.  On top of that, one of them is brand new!

As always, we encourage you to take online auction listings at face value and do your own research before making a purchase.

Listing 1 - Brand New Moog Etherwave Pro Theremin with Walnut Back

Two things make this auction special: 1) the fact that this is a 10 year old instrument still in it's original box, and 2) the walnut back.  Most of the Etherwave Pro's had a black piano finish back.  A small number (75-80 according to the listing) were made with other materials, including this walnut model.  This item has a buy-it-now price of $6495 USD.

At the time of posting, this auction has 0 bids and a little over a day left.  The starting bid is $4999 USD, and it has a buy-it-now price of $6999. Unfortunately for this seller, the previous listing is a better deal at the moment.


A Brief History of the Etherwave Pro Theremin

The Moog Etherwave Pro theremin was introduced at the 2004 Winter NAMM show and originally sold for around $1000.  It is believed that only 1500 or so units were produced in total.  It's mold-breaking design won awards, but this also made it complex to manufacture.  Production was discontinued in 2007, and since then there has been an unfortunate lack of professional grade theremins in the market.
