We have been manufacturing the Model 2856 solid state theremin and shipping it all over the world since 2014.
We recently recieved notification that the variable inductors used in the Model 2856 analog theremin to calibrate the
oscillator frequencies are being completely discontinued by the manufacturer with no available substitute. Final order and
delivery dates for these parts has been set for early summer 2024. With this in mind, we have ordered sufficient quantities
to cover our needs to produce instruments from our remaining stock of printed circuit boards and for replacement/repair.
Order now so you don't miss out on your opportunity to own one the finest solid state analog theremins ever produced. Orders
will be accepted on a first come first served basis. Sadly, when our present stock of circuit boards runs out the product
will have to be discontinued. Full support for this product will continue to be offered including factory repair service,
replacement parts and all factory upgrades as per the Support page on our main website.

quality theremins, my playing abilities do leave something to be desired.

We developed the Music From The Ether Model 2856 Theremin so that owning a high quality Theremin
that you didn't have to build could be within reach of everyone. The front panel controls are legibly marked
and logically placed making them easily accessible, as are the rear panel controls. The front panel contains
a built in amplifier with a 3.2mm (1/8") stereo headphone jack for private playing or practicing. The front panel
controls are from left to right, VOLUME TUNE, PITCH TUNE, WAVE, BRIGHT and PHONE VOLUME. The rear panel contains
the power input jack, ON/OFF switch and a standard 1/4" Mono phono jack for outputting to an external amplifier or
mixing board. The instrument can be played sitting on a table top or podium. There is also a bottom mounted threaded
flange so that it may be attached to a microphone stand. The Model 2856 comes to you fully assembled, tested and ready
to play. Just add electricity!
PLEASE NOTE: There is no built in output amplifier. The audio output of this instrument is LINE AUDIO which is 1v/P-P (1-volt peak to peak), as such it is considered to be Pro-Audio gear. Additionally, you will need an external amplifier with a LINE AUDIO input jack. Also, the front panel headphone jack is designed for traditional 8-Ohm headphones which means that "earbuds" of the type used with cellphones will not yield satisfactory results because of the differences in impedence.
