Selecting and Playing a Tone

Playing a Piano Duet

You can use the Duet Mode to split the piano’s keyboard in the center so two people can play a duet. The left and right side keyboards have virtually the same range. If you have the optionally available SP-30 Pedal Unit installed, the left pedal operates as the left side damper pedal, while the right pedal is the right side damper pedal.

The Duet Mode is the perfect way to conduct lessons, with the teacher playing on the left side as the student plays the same song on the right side.
