Stylophone Theremin

This tool is definitely not for every musician, but if you're interested in experimenting and want to see if the theremin is your cup of tea – for this price, it's a brilliant choice.
At first, I was a bit confused and wondered if this was a waste of money, but day by day, I’m growing more fond of the instrument. It definitely takes some time to get used to it. I see all three modes it operates in as three different instruments, which, combined with a delay effect, offers tons of possibilities for experimentation.
As I said – it’s not for everyone, but if you enjoy improvisation and sonic exploration, you might fall in love with it. A big plus is the theremin’s powerful look – it truly seems like something stolen from a mad scientist’s lab!
I genuinely think it's worth more than its price. Highly recommended for all musical eccentrics drawn to alternative genres and experimentation!

This is such a fun instrument. After playing with it for a day, I wrapped it up and sent it as a present to my two year old niece, working on the principal that it would be the present I would like to receive as a two year old.
It doesn't require too much technique to elicit an almighty sound usually reserved for modular synth demos on YouTube.
The icing on the confection is the delay, waving your hands around and employing the delay feedback control is about as much fun as you can have with your nappy on.
Loud enough to annoy any indulgent parent, yet subtle enough to summon a guardian angel. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, relax your body, switch on the Dübreq Stylophone Theremin and open your mind.

Viel Hype, lange Wartezeiten und dann leider so was: Das Gerät nimmt nicht nur Bewegungen um die Antenne herum auf, sondern auch direkt an der metallenen Faceplate. Was das Stimmen und justieren der Parameter im Theremin Modus nahezu unmöglich macht. Auch die Mix Einstellung ergibt so wenig Sinn da man damit gleichzeitig die Slide Sektion und die Antenne spielen kann, aber man durch die bloße Nähe am Gerät bereits ungewollt Einfluss auf den Sound nimmt. Die Slide Sektion an sich funktioniert sehr gut und lässt sich im Gegensatz zum Theremin sehr gut spielen. Das Delay klingt nett und der Gesamtklang ist für die Preiskategorie voll ok. Als ich den Hersteller auf die Probleme ansprach bekam ich folgende Antwort:

Your unit is definitely working correctly. The lady in the trailer was making adjustments to the controls in slide mode. We tried everything to isolate the metal panel from the antenna, but it's so sensitive that anything that goes near the case is affected. Definitely a limitation in mix mode I understand. Mix mode was a last-minute addition to add a bit more functionality.

Also ist das Problem bekannt aber es wurde trotzdem entschieden das Gerät auf den Markt zu bringen. Leider zu teuer für eine reine Spielerei und wenn es sich Theremin nennt, erwarte ich zumindest das die Theremin Funktion auch funktioniert.
