hi there :)
i just got my first etherwave theremin
i got a problem with the pitch antenna
inside it there's a plastic red thing (coilcraft is written on it)
what should i do with this?
should it stay inside the antenna???

and another question
i ain't got a power supply
i thought that one would be in the box
but...
so i have to buy one
110 volts or 220??
what's the difference?
i live in greece
does it have to do with my location?

thnx
i hope that someday i'll produce some sound :D

Welcome to Theremin World.

The red thing is for adjusting the coils inside the theremin. Keep it safe, you might need it one day. It does not need to live inside the pitch rod. I opened my theremin and taped it to the inside so that I can find it when I need it.

I think there should be a power supply included. Check with Moog.

I believe mains electricity in Greece is 220V (50Hz). If that is correct then you want a 220V power supply.
