Yamaha TRP5P Mk1 piezo problem

Hi Folks

Just acquired a very nice TRB5P which sounds great, but the piezo output is very low (or non existent) on the G string compared to all the other strings.

So I wondered if anyone had any advice on how to fix such a problem; is it something you can do yourself, or does it need professional expertise?

Unfortunately, I am a bit of a Luddite when it comes to these things! :)

Any comments/suggestions/advice welcomed

Thanks

Nik

Without seeing it i can't say for sure but it could possibly be the piezzo ont he G saddle that's not sitting properly on it's position. I would start by removing the G saddle and assembling it again.

If that's not the case than i'm affraid that the piezzo may have gone bad or the connections are faulty/broken.

Be very carefull if you attempt to do this yourself, it's easy to damage the piezo or cable if you don't know what you're doing. When in doubt, take it to a tech who knows what he's doing.
