Comment Thread for Theremin Buyer's Guide

This is a comment thread for the article "Guide to Buying a Theremin" (http://www.thereminworld.com/article.asp?id=31).

There is a significant difference in sound quality and performance between digital and analog Theremins. This should be a consideration in selection now that many low cost digital Theremins are available.

thanks Jason! cannot believe you found time to write that. now get some rest.

Jason,

My thanks as well. As a newbie looking to purchase, I found this guide to be helpful. If I may be so bold, perhaps a guide on amps (or an addendum to the new buying guide would be useful. I've seen some of the keyboard amps (on Musiciansfriend) between $100 - $200 but am not sure if they have the features that are required to handle a Theremin.

In one of the recent "which theremin should I buy" discussions, I think it may have been the one with the cool mom, someone (not me) did a really good writeup about choosing an amp, including a discussion of what the different input levels are and which is appropriate. I'd suggest pulling that out and making it a separate page that could be linked to from the guide.

And Jason, thanks again for this site, you're doing great work here. I like your idea of the theremin choosing "wizard". Sooner or later one of us will have time to get around to something like that. :-)

I don't mean to seem rude by not congratulating all the work on this great new page. If I say how nice this one is, I will have to say how nice every page is on this entire website. My God that would take days!

Folks, it's comments like this that make me wish I could quit my job and work on TW.com full time :) Thanks for the great suggestions and I'll keep the content coming!

Sorry, just bimping up this thread to the spam will disappear....

it lookls great a covers all those pesky questions. you forgot the one important thing, " RUN AWAY, THE THEREMIN WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE"

A supporting piece of gear that I'm really glad I got is the Alesis TransActive 50 (TransAct50) Compact Monitor/PA. With a heavy duty mic stand it sits at about head height and is a great rehearsal or small venue amp.

Just be sure it really is in stock when you order, it took a long time for me to receive it but was worth the wait.

Hope you all get the tools you need and the toys you want!
