B3 Theremin

Great gift for my grandson who is in junior high band. He is a stem student, fascinated by all things unusual. He is enjoying the unlimited ways to produce sound that is melodic and interesting.

great true theremin for price point, seems sturdy and comes with instructional booklet that’s helpful

For the price, compared to other theremins on the market, this one is phenomenal. I’ve been greatly enjoying learning it. The sound it makes itself is not the greatest, but it does the job. I need to do my research, but if pedals are compatible, I believe the added effects might turn this into my permanent theremin.

Not a toy, difficult to play. Takes a lot of practice, but worth it.

Its built like something you get by saving boxtops. Its way too light and plastic. I think if you threw it at a hamster as hard as you could, the hamster would walk away fine. Bad tones, not spooky at all. Very little pitch to distance consistency. Stupid mic stand mount, 0/10 would not wave hands around again

The theremin arrived well packaged and fully functioning out of the box. It took a little bit to get used to, especially adjusting the pitch knob to accurately adjust the play distance. We found an instructional video on Prime Video that walked us through the process. I appreciate that the mic stand mount on the base is removable as this let us easily set the theremin on a table. The only thing that would improve this theremin is greater distance between the antennas. It’s not easy to master but we also didn’t expect it to be. Just like any instrument, it takes practice.

Fun to try, cheaply made, and not worth the price. I wouldn’t recommend this cheaply designed, plastic Theremin. My daughter likes odd things, and I wasn’t going to spend a lot on something that I knew she would use a few times, and put it aside. $200 isn’t exactly cheap, and this product isn’t worth it. She has a small amplifier, so the sound through that was fun. We had to take the bottom stand support off to keep it level on the playing surface. All-in-all, it works, but WAY overpriced for what you are getting. It’s a “pass” from me, but something else.

I almost gave it the benefit of the doubt and gave it 3, but 2 stars is more fitting. Maybe I expected too much out of a Theremin. I thought I could learn to make something approaching music with this, however it just sounds like an old metal detector.
