Rhodes 88 no sound even when electronics are bypassed??

Hi,

I have a Rhodes 88 stage that produces only are VERY faint (on just certain notes) sound when plugged into the 1/4" front jack input on the control panel.  The amp is good and so is the cable.  So I bypassed the front panel input and plugged directly into the RCA input on the harp inside.  I get a little bit more sound but it is still VERY faint  and distorted.  Only sertain keys will play.  When I touch any of the pickups I get a loud buzz/honk.  So it is passing sound.  I have checked the wire's and see nothing loose.  I also checked the pickup wires to see if any of the daisy chain is loose.  I can't figure this one out to save my life.  

Any ideas?  Any suggestions?  thanks for any help.

Kindest Regards,

Eric[/b]

Try something else.Phase 100's are cool but they get a little flubbery sometimes.

The amp input must be Hi-Z (high impedance) like a guitar/bass amp.
