This instrument captivated audiences worldwide when it was first demonstrated by its inventor, Lev Sergeivich Termen. Despite mainstream interest in the theremin had faded by 1938, the instrument remained popular amongst electronics enthusiasts and hobbyists alike. Fortunately, building a simple theremin is not an expensive enterprise; anyone with moderate electronics skills can build one for themselves.\n\n## 2 Supporting Resources\n\n### 2.1 Documentation\n\n* [Building a Theremin](https://deaksoftware.com.au/articles/building_a_theremin/) - Main article\n\n### 2.2 Project Files\n\n* [KiCad Project Files](./project/)\n\n### 2.3 Parts List\n\n* [Parts List](./documents/parts_list_sorted_by_reference.pdf) - Sorted by reference\n* [Parts List](./documents/parts_list_sorted_by_value.pdf) - Sorted by value\n\n### 2.4 Sample Audio Files\n\n* [Pitch Test 1](./audio/pitch_test_01.ogg)\n* [Pitch Test 2](./audio/pitch_test_02.ogg)\n* [Volume Test 1](./audio/volume_test_01.ogg)\n* [Volume Test 2](./audio/volume_test_02.ogg)\n\n### 2.5 Video Clips\n\n* [Demonstration of the Theremin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvGdWOtuZFs) - YouTube video\n\n\n## 3 Legal and Copyright\n\nThis document, including schematic images, PCB layout and miscellaneous files is released under the [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) license.
