PAiA overtone problem

[m***@gmail.com]

Hello to the Theremin Nine~~

My Theremax has developed a second tone in addition to the first. In
the middle registers (don't know the Hz, but it's around A-440) I'm
hearing an overtone that's a diminished-fifth lower, and it's really
annoying.

Anyone else have a Theremax? Anyone else have this problem? Anyone
else fix it? (Don't send me to the PAiA website, it's all electronic
Greek to me.)

Thanks for any help in advance....

I have built many theremins but never the Theremax so any answer I
could give would be speculative.

The person I consider a brilliant troubleshooter, builder and player
of the Theremax is Kevin Kissinger who is always available on the
Theremin World board when he is in town. Give it a day or two I know
he will answer your post.

If you could record a .mp3 sample playing naturally, this would be a
good starting point to diagnosing the extra tone. Does it change with
the pitch or maybe change with the volume or does it change at all?

Did you know Lev Theremin spent many hours trying to accomplish what
you have accomplished, a dual tone and here you've gone and done it.

Good Luck,
