Elma organ, No sound from lower keyboard

[Guest]

Hi Just joined as a member and have a problem....... I have no sound from lefthand keyboard, been perfectly OK until switched on Yesterday morning, I have had the back off but far too complicated for me, I would be grateful if any member has any idea what is wrong, Is the end of the road for this one? many thanks MF

I assume you mean Elka rather than Elma? We'd need to know a model number first. There will be a maker's plate on the organ somewhere, usually under the keyboards above the pedals. Or take a photo and post it, so we can ID it from that.

Thanks for reply, The organ is an Elka E29, No, 2290, hope this helps, thanks

Open up and check all internal connectors. One at a time, unplug, clean and replug them. This can cure a lot of ills but is not guaranteed to fix everything!

Be careful with anything near the power supply, as this carries lethal voltages, even when switched off.

thanks for that, I have got to the inside, having lifted up both keyboards and have checked all connections and cannot see anything wrong there have sucked out a bit of dust and put back together, however when playing with open harmony button down I get the lower keyboard playing the chords so must be a fault there........ anybody got any ideas why this should be?
