Ethan,
Thanks this looks great. I will read more about it and then perhaps I can
send you some info on actual construction techniques. My wife is a research
specialist so she enjoys getting me info on obscure subjects.

Thanks, I have learned something new today


Michael

hey, thanks for the reply. it's nice that people are willing to share
info, so far i've gotten some good responses.

to check out the bandmanual, and other trautonium workings, this site
is a fairly good info source:

i'm not sure what this is. is that one volt per octave? you'll have to
forgive me, but i don't understand any of the jargon yet.

when you look at the trautonium the bandmanual is pretty intimidating,
but remember, i'm only looking to build one, and i don't nessecarily
need the pressure sensitivity. i'm just looking for the theremin type
quality, in an easier to play scenario.
hell if all goes well, maybe i will build a trautonium (in ten years).

this site is a tannerin site. i'm really interested in the way these
work too. i think he may use anodized aluminum as part of the large
resistor, but i'm not sure.
