Take a look at www.bigbriar.com if you want to build a Theremin with the RF technique. About the components available in Europe, you could try in www.farnell.com, where they seem to have variable inductors in stock.<br>
<br>
There are alternative designs (and so interesting) in www.maxiespages.com/theremin/schematics.shtml<br>
