Has this happened to anybody here?

Post by Eary1950 » Tue Apr 22, 2025 3:04 am

I recently bought my first theremini and decided to try it out. As I was packing it up, I rolled it off from the mic stand and I totally lost grip of it and the theremini fell hard on the ground. There is no sign of damage to the exterior but I'm concerned that with the hard hit on the ground, it might've done something inside. Would it be safe to use it after this has happened? Has this happened to anybody here?

I dropped my Theremini once while setting it up, and it hit the floor pretty hard too. No visible damage, like yours, but I was paranoid about internal issues. I tested it thoroughly, played it for a while, checked all the controls, and listened for any weird noises or glitches. Mine worked fine, but I’d suggest doing the same.
