About the Pedals

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. The degree of softness
varies subtly with the amount the pedal is pressed.
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. The length of time that the sound con-
tinues varies subtly with the amount the pedal is
pressed.
MEMO
You can change the amount of resonance applied with the
damper pedal. For more information and instructions,
please refer to ÒChanging the Damper PedalÕs ResonanceÓ
