Move over Keyboard Cat, Theremin Cat’s in town and requires no human assistance to play his instrument of choice. Well … maybe just like a teensy bit of help assembling the Gakken Mini-Theremin Kit … and yeah granted, he’ll need fresh batteries once in a while. But aside from that – 100% straight solo, baby. […]
It’s no secret that we love Gakken kits here at MAKE, and the Mini Guitar kit is no exception. It has a built in amp, speaker, and line out so it’s a lot of fun, even if you don’t own an amp. After building the kit, just pop in some AA batteries and you are ready to rock.
Seller Everything Tiny manufactures these itty-bitty hand-blown glass display domes, with press-fit bases, to go with their awesome TinySaur kits, one of which (the T-Rex) is shown above, with tweezers, for scale. But there’s no reason you couldn’t co-opt one to display some other tiny, delicate prize.

Kat and Jim run Sonodrome from Tynesmouth, UK, on the northeast Channel coast. Besides the hardware featured here and in the Makers Market, they also write and distribute music software, including a digital effects rack designed for their Posc kit.

From seller ProdMod, this cool kit for making your own color-changing LED hula hoop that collapses for storage like a band-saw blade:
Use this kit in combination with 10.5 feet of tubing (sold separately) to build your own LED hoop. This is the easiest of my kits to assemble. The battery lasts about 5 hours of continuous use, and can be easily replaced for a new one. This kit includes: One Lithium Battery, 12 feet of paired wire, One Slide Switch, One Tube Connector, 21 LEDs.
A rechargeable hoop kit is also available, which includes a rechargeable battery, a charger, and an integral charging jack to install in the hoop.
