I have Yamaha YRA 312b, The lowest notes require much less pressure than the notes just above. They also pop up easily into a harmonic if you use too much pressure or attack. The harmonic will be clean, though. If the sound is squeaky and pitiful, more likely a leaky finger.

I will echo previous post about watching Sarah on Team Recorder showing how to diagnose this.
