Description
 
Invented in 1920 in Russia, the Theremin is the original electronic instrument and has been used in albums by artists from the Beach Boys to the Flaming Lips to add a unique sound to their track. It�s easy to handle, but difficult to master, as you use your hands proximity to the volume and pitch antennas to create music. The new Gakken Premium Theremin is a compact version that produces quality sound at a reasonable price. Use your right hand to adjust the tone, and your left to change the volume, but no need to touch! The small speaker will provide ample sound, but you can also connect the theremin to external speakers, or even mix it with other instruments such as Gakken�s Analog Synthesizer! This kit is easy to build and play! Instructions are in Japanese but feature highly detailed assembly pictures (sorry, no English translation at this time). MAKE is proud to be the exclusive distributor in North America for these brilliant kits from Gakken.

Interesting if you are into Theremins October 31, 2009
Reviewer: Tyler Bennett from Cary, NC United States  
This "kit" comes fully assembled, you just plug the antennas in.

My 13 yr old grandson had seen Theremins on YouTube and takes guitar lessons.  So he was primed to give it a try.  The sound quality is not great, but he had a good time playing with it.  It's a bit tricking "tuning" it. For best results, search the internet and YouTube and you can find some worthwhile tips.  My grandson even got a rendition of Stairway to Heaven worked out!

This isn't for everyone. You need to have an interest in sound effects or music, else you may lose interest quickly.  There are better quailty Theremins for more serious users, this is more a toy than a serious instrument.
