I think the main problem is the antenna. I got different results on different antennas (even the specs were identical). It was really cryptic thing.
Edit: Plus I've heard from other people that theremin can be tricky to get working properly. |
Again it?s a question of tuning. Different antennas (length and mass) have different capacity and each time you will have to retune it. Just like you have to fine-tune it if different people play it. A fat man has more mass (and therefore capacity) than a thin man.
Edit: And of course the curcuit design has a great deal to do with what size and type of antenna you should use.
