Hi guys, 
thank you for admitting me to the forum  this is my first post and i am hoping to get some help. I have no prior knowledge about theremins so please bear with me  I tried finding this out through online research but to no avail. Does anyone know if there is a way to tune a theremin to either a 528 or 432 Hz frequency? Which frequency do they usually have? Kind regards and thank you for reading. Tanja

Not clear on your question?

A theremin works fine operating in any RF range from 200 kHz to 1000 kHz. You would want the tuning of the pitch antenna circuit, if tuning is used, to match the selected frequency. If you are looking for fixed audio frequency of 528 or 432 Hz then use an audio oscillator. A Multi-meter with a frequency counter is also very useful.

A theremin isn't and does not have to be tuned to any (arbitrary) concert pitch standard, you can play along whether a tuning standard of A=415 or A=432 or A=440 or A=442 or A=444 Hz is used, or whatever the other instrument(s) you play together with are tuned to, the continuous tone range of the theremin enables you to harmonize or disharmonize with any tone/key/frequency.

То disharmonise is more often than  harmonize.

Much epending on practice, ear-hand-coordination, having/developing a good ear for tone matching.
Disharmonies are ok as tension building elements, but it is a good thing to then bring a musical / melodic phrase to a harmonic solution. (when improvising)

Guess that so-called healing frequencies are meant? One cannot accurately play tones within 1 Hz with the theremin. But if so, you are an absolute grandmaster....

JPascal you guessed what this is about, I am open minded to other peoples religion or make-believe as I have my own. 

In short, 432 Hz resonates with the very vibrations of our planet, which is one of the reasons it’s so beneficial. However, 528 Hz resonates with a planet as well; just not our own. If we apply the same method as above, we find that 528 Hz is in tune with the harmonics of Saturn.
