This is my latest D-Lev prototype built for Eric Wallin.  It’s basically a white version of the first red one finished a few weeks ago.  I’ve tacked on a video demonstration at the end to prove that it works before I send it to him.

 

 

 

 

A long time ago I offered to build a finished theremin for Eric (Dewster) over at Theremin World (www.thereminworld.com) as a way of repaying him for sharing all of his secrets and letting me be the first early adopter of the D-Lev. At the time the idea was that his custom theremin would be the D-Lev “Tour” model which he had envisioned as road-worthy travel case with stowed antennas that would not just carry the theremin; it would be the theremin.  But too many undefined design issues and my thinly veiled lack of interest in making something like that led to the whole concept being back-burnered.

 

Finally a couple years later after coming up with a sort-of replicable design I decided to just build up an extra and give him a second model of my P3 enclosure and electronics, whether he wanted it or not, and consider it a promise fulfilled.
