Answer:  no.  The kits are easy, you just have to be careful.  Less careful than
a lot of stuff involving modern microprocessors, even, they aren't QUITE as
sensitive to heat.

I'd be shocked if you could get decent quality any cheaper than Paia.

They've been around forever, they're reputable, they started many a
young tinkerer down a solitary road filled with breadboards and metal
boxes...

Their Theremin is supposed to be an amazing value, too!

I'd give them my top recommendation.
