Visit here: Build The RCA

Also get Firefox web browser with it's built in spell checker, it will give you better forum credibility.

Where do you want to go with this theremin build?

Are you after the look of the RCA, big coils and all or the authentic tube sound if it could be done with modern parts and coils?

Always get a sound sample from the webpage you build and design from, the author of that page will be giving you the best they could achieve. If no sound is available the author failed so it might be wise to avoid their advise.

The great Thereminist create their own individual voice by their influence on the sound with personal control and add-on electronics.

Ey, peace, people!

Strangers and dyslexics are also human beings...

Not everybody had the occasion to learn the "lingua franca" of the internet.

I don't normally do this but since you brought up spelling...it's "advice" not "advise".  

 

"Advice" is a verb meaning "to give advice".

And the plural of "thereminist" is " thereminists" .

 

Just sayin'.

Thank you.  I just switched email software.  Trying to figure it all out.

OK.  Thank you

Sounds like fun.  I will look into it and find the Firefox spelling add on.

Thank for the help.

Oh Thierry, you need to loosen your necktie a little bit... When I was called a dumb blonde, I didn't see you jump to my rescue, and I am a human being... Anyways!

MyMark1, I was just playing around... No need to worry. English is my second language and we all do mistakes here and there... No problem :)
