Re: [SPELLBOUND-L] Theremin Planet - a second opinion

2006-09-16 by Oscar

Well, reading my email again it seems I was trying to sold somehow that 
aetherphone.
Nothing more far to reality.

I said I have a strong opinion about it. The opinion is that one thing like 
that could be
a good toy if it had a more realistic prize, but never should be taken as a 
'real' instrument.

The sad thing about this is that they're selling this  worldwide and this 
has its own comsequences:
people thinking they have a theremin and asking how to play 'this', and 
people
playing it in concert just for noise and making other people think that 
theremins are just that.

If only they were not claiming this...:

 " The circuit is a dual Heterodyne oscillator (like the Classical 1950's 
designs used in countless
Sci-fi Movies) The same type as prestigious theremins like Etherwave Moog 
has"

...I would only think it is just an overprized toy. But I wonder what Moog 
Music would think about this sentence. It could be technically true, but 
makes inexperienced people think it is like a Moog...

How much do you folks think this aetherphone should be prized being 
realistic?
