Re: [vintagesynthrepair] rhodes player?

2003-08-14 by TC

On each tone bar, there are two Phillip head screws. Just tighten or loosen
the top screw until you get the sound you like. Adjusting this screw will
just change the position of the tine in relation to the pickup and will
change the tone. You can also move the pickup closer or farther away from
the tine. Although this usually just affects the volume.
