Review: Really fun cheap theramin. - This is an awesome little device for making spooky sounds. Makes a really nice sound which is even better if you add reverb and delay. I also ran it through a Big Muff fuzz pedal which made it sound amazing. It does not have a volume control so you need to use a pedal if you want that control. It is also very light, I had to tape it down to feel secure about it. I used it in my music classroom and let kids try it. They absolutely loved it! You have to have an amplifier and guitar cord for it to make sound. Any little guitar amp with reverb would probably sound great. They also make one that mounts on a mike stand. I would probably get that one if I bought it again just so it would be easy to play. But for the money this is a deal.
Review: Anyone Can Play! - Hook this baby up to a good sound system and run it through some hood signal processors and you’ve got an amazing addition to any group’s sound. Plus it fits in your back pocket, though I wouldn’t recommend transporting it by that method.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mine does what Burns said it would do (so far so good).
*by K***N on August 23, 2021*

I saw quite mixed reviews for this product, but was guessing many people who complained did not read details before they bought it. I'm a long time engineer and musician and appreciated the prior reviews warning of how light it is. I have designed many of my own inexpensive synths and guitar effects for myself, and this is like a do-it-yourself kit someone has put together for you. Here is what you get and what it does... FORM/FUNCTION: A plastic box with a retractable antenna, a rotating knob functioning as both an on-off switch and a sensitivity control, and a quarter-inch mono (like electric guitar) jack coming out of the top. A wall wart power supply is connected internally to the box, so you can't detach it. PERFORMANCE: I connected the 1/4 inch output to my guitar amp for the following test. With the sensitivity set to about 1/2 a turn, and with the box set on a wood stool far from everything else in the room, it produces no sound when I am farther than about 2-3 feet away (there is hysteresis, so it's ~2ft to start and ~3ft to stop). At this setting, the starting with a low note of ~Bb (apparently close to 60Hz power or harmonic) about 1 or 2 octaves below middle C, I was able to easily span 5 octaves (and play a distinct pitch at each octave) and reached a 6th octave, though it was with my middle finger about 1mm from the antenna and it was not easy for me to control (but that was in the first few minutes of trying, so I suspect I can get better with practice). For less controlled pitch, it was likely several octaves up to where it became inaudible. I was pleased with this performance since it is much better than the 4 octaves they claim for pitch range, and much better than reviews I read for spatial range, and many said it doesn't turn off. With different sensitivity settings it does not turn off no matter how far away I get, but that's likely because the stool, floor, ceiling and other things come into play. I would be interested to know if others get the same pitch range by using the same test set-up, or is there a quality control issue causing product performance variance. Considering Amazon typically has large mark-ups for specialty items that are not moving in huge volume, I think Burns is likely not making much from this transaction and thus feel this is a very fair price.
