Fishman aura pro -the manual states the tuner will work whether plugged into the jack or just accoustically alone. Mine only works when the 1/4 jack activates the preamp. I have held the tuner button
Is the "Play/Edit" switch set to "Play?" That could be the culprit, but since you said you have used the tuner while the 1/4" jack is connected, I assume you are already aware of this possible solution.
If the Play/Edit switch is in the proper position, yet the tuner only works when the 1/4" jack is connected, then I'm led to believe the issue is an internal one with the preamp's tuner switch or maybe the power switch that's activated when the 1/4" jack is connected. I have reached this conclusion because the tuner is obviously getting power when the 1/4" jack is connected, so power itself isn't an issue; getting the power to the tuner when no 1/4" is connected is the issue, and that means there a bad switch or relay somewhere in the Aura itself.
Contact the manufacturer. Fortunately, I use the pedal version of the Aura on a daily basis and have had to contact Fishman for tech support in the past, and they're really great about it. So get in touch with them and explain the issue; I'm sure they can help.
Good luck!

Breaking Roland RD 600 hammers
The Roland RD-600 is a digital piano, and its hammer action mechanism is designed to simulate the feel of an acoustic piano. The hammers in digital pianos like the RD-600 are typically made of materials like plastic or a combination of materials to replicate the weighted feel of acoustic piano keys.
The breaking of hammers in a digital piano is not a common issue, and it's not typically related to the age of the instrument alone. Several factors could contribute to the breakage of hammers, and it's essential to consider the following possibilities:
- Excessive Force: If the keys are played with excessive force or if there's any physical damage to the instrument, it could lead to the breakage of hammers.
- Material Quality: The quality of materials used in the construction of the hammers can impact their durability. If the hammers are made from subpar materials, they may be more prone to breaking.
- Manufacturing Defects: In some cases, there could be manufacturing defects that make the hammers more susceptible to breakage.
- Maintenance: Lack of proper maintenance, such as cleaning and regular inspection, may contribute to the wear and tear of components, including hammers.
If you've observed a pattern of hammers breaking with regularity, it might be worth investigating the specific cause. If it's due to excessive force or physical damage, adjusting playing habits and taking care during transport can help mitigate the issue.
As for whether it's worth purchasing new hammers from Roland, it depends on the extent of the damage and the overall condition of the instrument. If the RD-600 is in good condition otherwise and you enjoy playing it, replacing the hammers could be a reasonable option. However, you may want to assess the cost of replacement hammers compared to the overall value of the instrument, factoring in the cost of a used RD-600 and any potential future maintenance needs.
