apply excessive force to it. Doing so may damage the headphone hook.

Pedal

Adjusting the adjuster

Depending on the conditions of use or the environment in which the piano is placed, the adjuster might move upward over time, causing an abnormal sound to be heard when you press the pedal. If this occurs, adjust the adjuster.

Adjustment method

Lower the adjuster located below the pedal board, adjusting it so that it contacts the oor. If the piano is placed on carpet, lower the adjuster a little more so that it pushes slightly against the oor.

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal to sustain the sound. While this pedal is held down, notes will be sustained for an extended time even if you release your ngers from the keyboard.

This reproduces the following features of an acoustic piano’s damper pedal.

5 A change in feel as you press the pedal, initially light but becoming heavier as you continue

pressing

5 Richness and spaciousness added by other strings sympathetically resonating with the sound

of the notes you play

5 The distinctive decay added by “half-pedaling,” in which the core of the sound ends quickly

while leaving only a rich spaciousness and resonance

Sostenuto Pedal

The notes you are pressing when this pedal is depressed will be sustained.

Soft Pedal

This pedal is used to make the sound softer. Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that is not as strong as when otherwise played with the equivalent strength. This is the same function as the left pedal of a grand piano. The softness of the tone can be varied subtly by the depth to which you press the pedal.

* When operating the pedal, take care not to pinch your ngers between the moving part and the

body of the unit. Pay special attention to this when using the unit where children are present.
