My custom made Theremin

http://thorwaldjorgensen.com/en/content/my-new-custom-made-thereminThorwald is currently playing a custom made Theremin This instrument was built by Theremin genius Thierry Frenkel, into a wooden cabinet designed and built by Michel Chazot.

This instrument has a number of interesting features:

  • The technique is hybrid (tube / transistor)
  • Two speakers on the side, left and right, to be used as a stage monitor for the conductor and/or the pianist.
  • Output for my external diamond speaker
  • LINE OUT output, to connect the instrument to external PA's in large concert halls
  • Sordino mode: this provides a 'muted' sound quality that allows you to play very softly in a very easy way.
  • Special mode with classical Theremin sound
  • Mute switch
  • On/Off indicator
  • Two open slots in top of cabinet for air circulation
  • Pitch field of over 7 octaves, with extremely linear spacing
  • Both antennas are fixed by a jack-like system
  • Volume loop with a staccato (right) and legato (left) function in one
  • Removable legs for easy transportation
