Matryomin

If you are looking for the russian cute theremin doll made by japanese (!!) (mandarin electron), I bought one to this guy, very serious and not expensive :

you can also go the the mandarin site and choose a specific one (what I did) and he will send it to you, charging a very little fee :

See ya!

By the way, I don't know how this guy earns money, his price is $449 on ebay, and I checked on the mandarin site :

The price is 44,016.00 JPY = 447.215 USD. Other stores sell it double price...

Not expensive???

Compare with the price, linearity, range and other musical features of an Etherwave Standard. Compared to this the Matryomin is a worthless toy which hasn't even a volume circuit. So, with respect of the fancy housing, a realistic price would be around 100 USD.

I was talking about the seller's fee, compared to the original price...

I'm not gonna argue, it was just an information for the site. I bought one for my personnal collection, as it's cute and handmade.

It is obvious that the musical possibilities only are not worth the price.


See ya
