hi all
this weekends project a THEREMIN
i got a schematic off the net but just need a little help.
is the C6 at the bottom a 1uf and is K1 an audio connector
and finally if k1 is the connector is it to be used in conjunction with an amplifier
that's all folks
thanks

Hello,

The circuit you show is basicaly a beat oscillator.
It will produce a tone that is the difference between the two oscillators.

A real theremin consists of 4 oscillators.
2 are used for the pitch and 2 are used for the volume.

On the following page, you will find some links to some "real" theremin schematics:

Can someone tell me What is a "Theremin" Circuit?

Hello,

A Theremin is a musical instrument that is played by moving you hands.
The sound is a bit like a violin.
Here are a couple of videos where the Theremin is played:
