About the Pedals

fig.3-04.e

Soft Pedal Damper Pedal

Sostenuto Pedal

Soft Pedal

This pedal softens the sound.

Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength.

Sostenuto Pedal

With the sostenuto pedal, only the sound played at the moment the pedal is pressed is sustained.

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal when you want the sound to linger. While the damper pedal is depressed, the sound from the keyboard continues to linger/remain for an extended period, even when you remove your fingers from the keys.

On acoustic pianos, when the damper pedal is depressed, additional strings are released to resonate with the sound of the keys that have been played, adding richness and breadth to the sound. The damper pedal on the pt-2700 recreates this resonance when depressed. This resonance is called “Sympathetic Resonance.”

You can change the amount of resonance applied with the damper pedal. For more information and instructions, please refer to “Changing the Damper Pedal’s Resonance” (p. 28).

About the Adjuster

After you have moved this piano, or when you feel it is unstabled, lower the adjuster at the bottom of the pedal board as follows:

❍Lower the adjuster so that it is firmly in contact with the floor. If there is a gap between the adjuster and the floor, the unit may malfunction when the pedal is pressed. In particular when the instrument is placed on a carpeted floor, you must lower the adjuster so that it presses strongly against the floor.
