Harrison Instruments

Welcome to Harrison Instruments, Inc.

A Maryland

Corporation

Harrison Instruments designs quality theremins using a variety of technologies, and fabricates prototypes for both consumer-direct and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) requirements. The theremin, named for its inventor, Leon Theremin, was introduced in the 1920s as one of the first electronic musical instruments.

The owner of the company, Arthur Harrison, oversees the design and production of all Harrison Instruments theremins to provide the highest performance for cost, meeting his personal criteria for rugged, reliable and playable instruments.

Durability and craftsmanship make Harrison Instruments theremins an excellent value. Each of our products are rigorously tested and inspected to surpass the highest expectations for quality. To meet the unique demands for science and engineering education, as well as the popular interest in kit-building, Harrison Instruments also provides numerous theremin kit products for both individual and classroom requirements. Our comprehensive assembly instructions and customer support make our kits a pleasure to build. Many of our customers are technical high schools and colleges, who repeat orders for our kits year after year to provide an effective and enjoyable student experience.

About Theremins

Theremins are distinguished by the fact that they are played without the performer touching the instrument. The musician moves his or her hands in proximity to the theremin to control the tone of the sound.

While mastering the theremin requires skill, the challenge is exciting, and the rewards are great. Few musical instruments are capable of such intimate expression, nor provide the unique visual appearance of performance.
