Description How To More Details
 
Flying saucer music -- powered by the sun! With very few parts you can build a tiny solar-powered theremin enclosed in an mint tin (not included) such as our new MAKE Project Tin. So when the oil runs out, the ice caps melt, and civilization crumbles to dust, thanks to the Heliophone we will still have electronic music :-) By ClockworkRobot. Check out our build here.

Overall a fun quick kit September 10, 2008
Reviewer: michael pechner from palo alto, CA United States  
Took about an hour.

On the good side, it is a reasonably simple kit to build.

I'd be willing to pay more for 2 things:
1. a solar panel that works in other than sull outdoor sunlight.
2. Something that generates a more interesting sound.
3. A solar panel with leads pre-installed.  The copper strip and the lead wire was a bit finicky.

Instructions should cover how to test with a lack of sun.

The none through hole connects were harder to do. There are 7 of those.
