    The video quality for this video is insane for someone with so few subscribers! I really can't wait to see you take off! Thanks for being my new theremin teacher!

    I have a medium sized poodle dog that when petted or squeezed lovingly produces similar sounds to a Theremin. Perhaps this is a better low cost option than the moog versions u are recommending here, at least for a beginner. Love ur vids and brand btw. Big fan.

      Tbf long-term costs of a pet (food, vet, etc) are way highter of any musical instrument

    Hey, Caroline Scruggs,
    Thank you for this nice video, your enthusiasm is amazing, keep it up. I'm facing an issue with my current old Standard Etherwave (which I own for 3 years now), and I might have to look at a replacement. Something in the mainboard seems dead or dying. I've also looked at the Theremini. I've heard it's hard / impossible to play quick notes on it. Is that true? Would you be able to tell me more? Please note I haven't looked at all your videos yet, I just now discovered them. If you detail something along this in another video, a pointer to the right one would be appreciated.
    The fact you find the Claravox not so fun to play was a surprise, by the way. (I don't know it from experience. Shows how personal a good theremin is.)
    Thank you again, and keep the videos as fun as they are now.

      Hey Paul! Glad you stumbled across my videos, I hope they prove helpful to you. The theremini is my most recent addition to my theremins, and I truly was surprised at how much I love playing it. I haven't experienced what you mentioned of not being able to play quickly on it... it keeps up wonderfully, as long as my fingers are doing their job :) Really can't recommend it enough. You'll find links to that as well as my favorite gear throughout my videos. Hope this helps!

      @@CarolineScruggs Thank you very much for your reply, I really appreciate it. At the moment, a friend is trying to find out what's wrong with the Etherwave (but it doesn't sound hopeful [grimace]). I'll certainly have a look and listen at the Theremini if this is curtain call for the good old Moog. Have a brilliant day!

    I first got a Moog Theremini (which doesn't function correctly anymore), then an Etherwave Plus, and 2 years ago got a Subscope Voicematic (made in Germany to order) which since has become my "daily driver". A highly interesting developement is the D-Lev (kit), a digital theremin, but a really good one. The LostVolts (UK, Europe) and Burns (USA) theremins would be good as a first theremin on a lower budget, maybe less suited for gigging but good for learning and playing at home, maybe a little flimsy and less sturdy, but having quite a nice sound and as far as I've seen demonstrated playable as musical instrument, and not just usable for sound effects.

    lostvolts in the uk makes a much more affordable analog theremin. I haven't tried it yet but im hoping to get one soonish to compare to what ive got currently.

    Check out the LV 4 from Lost Volts... A hair less refined than the Moog, but a fully grown up instrument you could start with.

    5:26 that delay sounds incredible, separate thought I don't particularly like Moog, I only had a Moog werkstatt and the sound was too harsh, it lacks character just sort of found it unusable, I like Moog for bass idk🤔just how I feel

    • @bakerbakerbaker305
      @bakerbakerbaker305 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ps I would try a model 10 or any old Moog any day

    too bad you're not single. Intelligence & SIlliness ... so sexy. Ahem. What about these Perseus (etc) models ? I've read bad things about them (not being the true waveform ?) ... but Moog's seem impossible to find these days. I just want something to make Led Zep noises on... any advice?

    Why all the melodrama and hand waving? Can't you just stand and talk normally?

      How's that for standing and taking normally ? ☺️

      Awww It’s just her style and personality 😊 I love it! To just stand and talk is ok but this has flair and fun. Hope you find someone to do what you’re after.
