The Vanguard The Vanguard is a completely self-contained electronic musical instrument. The tone is generated by purely electronic means, without the use of motors, strings, or other mechanically moving parts. A specially designed vacuum tube oscillator circuit, whose operation is sensitive to movements of the player's hand, generates an electric wave. When this wave leaves the oscillator, it passes through another circuit which adds the correct degree of overtones to give a pleasing and musical quality to the tone... Still another circuit enables the loudness of the tone to be controlled by the player's hand. After leaving this circuit, the tone is amplified, and converted into sound waves by a loudspeaker. All components of the Vanguard, including the loudspeaker, are housed in a handsome, hand-rubbed solid mahogany cabinet. The tuning adjustments are conveniently located in front of the player as he faces the instrument. The pitch range covers three and one-half octaves, extending from an octave below Middle C to two and one-half octaves above Middle C... 1960 Price: $395.00 |

The Professional Truly the finest Theremin made, the Professional is designed to meet every need of the accomplished Thereminist. The Professional Model Theremin differs from the Vanguard Model in two main respects. First, the Professional Model is completely transistorized, and uses no vacuum tubes. Second, a choice of four distinctive timbres is available to the musician. The introduction of transistors within the last few years has revolutionized the electronics industry. A transistor is a device composed of a specially produced single crystal, and is capable of performing virtually the same functions in electronic equipment as vacuum tubes... The four tone colors of the Professional Model Theremin are named PRINCIPAL, HORN, WOODWIND, and STRING... The Principal tone is mellow and ethereal, like a flute, and is the timbre traditionally associated with the Theremin. The Horn tone is sharp and nasal, like that of an oboe. The Woodwind tone is hollow and woody, like a clarinet. The String tone is rich in overtones, like that of any stringed instrument... 1960 Price: $650.00 |
