There are still several companies who build it. Get one from Doepfer (German Manufacturer) here and connect it to a modular system or a semi-modular synth like a mini moog. https://www.thomann.de/de/doepfer_a178.htm https://www.thomann.de/de/doepfer_a178.htm https://doepfer.de/a178.htm https://doepfer.de/a178.htm live in action: https://youtu.be/1mIferngPqY https://youtu.be/1mIferngPqY or from stylophone: https://www.thomann.de/de/duebreq_stylophone_theremin.htm https://www.thomann.de/de/duebreq_stylophone_theremin.htm live in action: https://youtu.be/NNn-se0S4Ww https://youtu.be/NNn-se0S4Ww

OpenTheremin is great. I have a v3 (which I'm trying to port to TinyGo for fun) but v4 is apparently awesome. https://www.gaudi.ch/OpenTheremin/ https://www.gaudi.ch/OpenTheremin/

As a now inactive theremin player (but I will go back at some point!) I'm sad to learn that Moog isn't making real theremins anymore (the theremini isn't one). The Moog Etherwave (Standard/Plus) wasn't the best theremin, but it was always extremely solid in terms of bang for the buck, a standard, easy to set up, reliable option with lots of other players you could ask for help, accessories (carry bag, mods, etc.) so it was the most logical recommendation for most newcomers. There were (and probably still are) great choices from smaller makers as well, in fact I own one in addition to my Moog, but they were more adventurous choices that didn't offer the reliability and newbie-friendliness of the Moog at a comparable price. Many players would have their pet underdog theremin that they would personally use and prefer to the Moog, but would still recommend the Moog to newcomers because you just couldn't go wrong with it, and others were either expensive, fickle, unsupported, inconsistent quality, difficult to set up, difficult to source, etc. I don't know if newer options will have changed this.

the Doepfer A187 I returned immediately, it's barely usable. I got the OpenTheremin instead and I love it
