The tone levers are located at the very top. They are
used to produce the tone color of your preference.
The
sound
level can
be adjusted as required
with
these tone levers and to facilitate adjustment, each
lever has three click-stop
positions.
You
can add
greater expression to tunes by combining a number of
these levers, rather than producing a tone color with
just one lever. Try out a number of combinations and
see for yourself.

octave, will be sounded at the same time despite the
fact that only one key is depressed. (This is known as
the coupler effect.)

you use this effect to advantage. Take a look at the
