PEDALS

The CN41 piano has three pedals—just like a grand piano. They are Sustain, Sostenuto and Soft.

Soft pedal Sustain pedal

Sostenuto pedal

Sustain pedal

Sustains the sound after hands are lifted from the keyboard. The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.

Sostenuto pedal

Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before releasing the keys sustains the sound of only the keys just played. Any keys that are pressed after the Sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained after the keys are released.

Soft pedal

Depressing this pedal softens the sound and reduces its volume.When the rotary effect is active the soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between slow and fast.
