I know that this has been talked about, but I'm looking to build a Moog style theremin.  I know there are pcb layouts around, but I'm not sure they are working/ good.  I do have experience in building pedals but I have never built a theremin.  Does anyone have a confirmed working etherwave theremin PCB so that I can make one.  Thanks in advance.

If you want to end up with something worthwhile and possibly playable you should build the EtherWave Kit. Anything else will end up as junk in a drawer. Successful theremin building is much more difficult than just knowing how to solder, that also helps. How many EM theremin builds have you found on YouTube you find enjoyable.I have never checked but that is a good place to start.If money is an issue the advice above is still the same.T

I do understand what you're saying and I do appreciate your opinion.  I already have an etherwave standard, installed the plus upgrade kit, and installed the espe01 module on the board.  I love my theremin!  I just wanted to build one to feed my hobby of electronics/ music.  Also, I want to have one to tinker with, modify, or just do whatever I want to do with it, without messing up my real one.  Thanks again.

I've been working on my etherwave project. I downloaded the eagle file from another member. I'm waiting for mouser to ship most of the components. I did order some rf chokes off of a popular auction site. I'll post more pictures later.
