My source for the theremin schematic is the "Build the EM Theremin This classic electronic instrument gives good vibrations and excitations. By Robert Moog" from the publication "86 Electronic Musician February 1996".  The article contains a schematic, parts lists, construction tips and tuning procedure.

Theremin

In the February 1996 issue of "Electronic Musician", an article by Robert Moog, titled "Build the EM Theremin" was published. Below are the details, images and a sound file for the THEREMIN I built from that article.
