Finished my theremin project. It's a theremin & amp build into a fifties radiospeaker. Got the 2 watt amp from 'The Cigarbox Guitar Company'. The speaker of the radiobox sounds much better then the one in the kit, so no hassle changing the speaker, only some wiring to connect the theremin with the amp. It has an input for a guitar or other instrument and an effectloop for the theremin. The theremin consists of two oscillators operating at a radio frequency; one is at a constant frequency and the other is varied by approaching the antenna with your hand. So this instrument is played without touching it. I recorded a tune playing my resonator through this amp, then dubbing the theremin and some percussion.
I don't know much about electronics, I just connected 2 kits. Got the theremin kit from 'theremaniacs'. Didn't make schematics, just started soldering in an experimental manner. If you want I can make a scetch, but I'm not sure if I remember correctly and I'm not good at that sort of thing.
