Re: Keys dont always play?

Re: Keys dont always play?

Yeah thats pretty much what im seeing... i thought i would take another approach last night, rather than try and find the problem from the inside, i played for about 30mins paying attention to what was happening.

Re: Keys dont always play?

Fantastic, Thanks for your great advice and your patients with a beginner! Lesson one - done! I will order the manual and begin to familiarise myself with technical terms.
