Setting Up the Music Rest
Raise the music rest, then position the three clasps as
shown in the figure below.
To fold down the Music Rest, first move metal fittings
back into their original positions, then lower the stand.
Pedal Functions
The specialized stand comes equipped with 3 pedals. The
right one is the Damper pedal, the middle one is the
Sostenuto pedal, and the left one acts as the Soft pedal.
1 Damper Pedal
While the Damper Pedal is depressed, notes that have
been played will continue to sound even after your
fingers have been removed from those keys.
2 Sostenuto Pedal
This pedal is used to sustain only the sound of those
keys that are pressed at the very moment the pedal is
depressed. Notes played afterwards are not effected.
3 Soft Pedal
When depressed, you obtain a softer sound.
