I'm building yet one more Mini Remin. The MR is now a well tuned design. I'ts been around for a while, and several MR of different colours have hit the stage. People like the IKEA case and the see-through LED. Buffer stage tends to saturate at high volume, giving a fuzzy sound when required.
I've recently made a few minor improvements of the design.
It is the simplest design but the output is 'sound' and the performing feedback sharp and nice to play. It requires a bit of practice but eventually gives you that provoking sound and feel.

I put togheter this website to share my experiences in the field of creative electronic design of (mainly analog) musical instruments. Here you can check out my Theremins and other designs. I fell into a crazed enthusiasm for Theremins a couple years ago and began to design several models and to study and alter projects I found on the web and on magazines...
