One reason for the theremin's absence in past popular culture is that it is difficult to play, but also, it was once commonly associated with sound effects in movies. Fortunately, this is changing, and it's being found in more, and more genres, but the job of making the world as aware of theremin
s as pianos is an ongoing process. Ironically, theremins were invented nearly a hundred years ago.
There are books written by Carolina Eyck, Clara Rockmore, and Victor Estrada, as well as Saxton, on how to play theremins. To this day, I do not know of a training method written by Leon Theremin.
Starter models like this one are between $150, and $350 from soundslikeburns, while intermediate models like Moog Etherwave Standard run between $350, and $400 from moogmusic. The current pro level models run about $800 to $1800 from wavefront. All are avialble on the web at the above, and through
other online instrument retail outlets, as well as e-bay.
is the etherwave any better? as it is much more expensive
The Etherwaves are more expensive, because they offer additional tonal control via waveform, and brightness knobs. They have a different tonal charactor. they sond more like a brass instrument, in some cases.
The short distance between antennas on the original B3 is a bit of an issue because the playing field had to be very small to keep the volume hand from affecting the pitch field. Burns has solved this problem by producing the B3 Deluxe, and B3 Pro which both use 18 inch long wood cabinets to allow
the pitch field to be spread out properly.
The All of the theremins from Burns are analog theremins.
