AETHERPHON, global theremin family

when my theremin does that it means that the nut which
hold the antenna needs to be tightened. you may have a
loose connection inside  the box where the plumbing
hardware is conneced to a wire. also check and see if
the compression ring is seated properly and if need
be, just go and get some more pipe and compression
rings at the plumbing area of a hardware store. you
also can use just palin steel or copper wire and
adjust the size and shape to suit. less antenna means
higher pitch on my unit so adjusting the size, or area
of the antenna is important. i hope that helps.
