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.

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.
