About the Pedals
Soft Pedal
Sostenuto Pedal
Damper 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.
On acoustic pianos, when the damper pedal is depressed,
additional strings are released to resonate with the sound of
the keys that have been played, adding richness and breadth
to the sound. The damper pedal on the HP 237 recreates this
resonance when depressed. This resonance is called
"Sympathetic Resonance."
ÁEMP
You can change the amount of resonance applied with the
damper pedal. For more information and instructions, please
refer to "Changing the Damper Pedal's Resonance" (p. 25).
