About the pedals

The KR103 comes with three pedals that are built into the supplied stand:

Soft Pedal Damper Pedal

Sostenuto Pedal

The pedals have the following functions, and are used mainly for piano performance.

■Damper pedal (right pedal)

While this pedal is pressed, notes will be sustained even after you take your fingers off the keys. On an acoustic piano, holding down the damper pedal will allow the remaining strings to resonate in sympathy with the sounds that you played from the keyboard, adding a rich resonance.

The KR103 simulates this damper resonance.

■Sostenuto pedal (central pedal)

This pedal sustains only the sounds of the keys that were already played when you pressed the pedal.

■Soft pedal (left pedal)

When you hold down this pedal and play the key- board, the sound will have a softer tone.

About the adjuster

When you move the KR103 or if you feel that the pedals are unstable, adjust the screw located below the pedals as follows.

Rotate the adjuster to lower it so that it is in firm contact with the floor. If there is a gap between the pedals and the floor, the pedals may be damaged. In particular when placing the instrument on carpet, adjust this so that the pedals firmly contact the floor.

Adjuster

If the adjuster is difficult to turn, have one person lift either the left or right side of the stand to make it easier for another person to turn the adjuster and make the adjustment.

Note: After adjusting the screw, press the pedals. If the stand’s front board moves, turn the adjuster further so that it makes firm contact with the floor.

Note: Always readjust the adjuster after moving the instrument.
