Owner's Manual
2.3 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.
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 notes you play linger on (are sustained) for an
extended period, even after removing 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-147e recreates this resonance
when depressed. This is called “Sympathetic Reso-
nance”.
About the adjuster
After you have moved this piano, or when you feel the
pedal board is unstable, lower the adjuster at the bot-
tom of the pedal board:
Adjuster
Lower the adjuster so that it is firmly in contact with
the floor. If there is a gap between the adjuster and the
floor, the unit may malfunction when a pedal is
pressed. In particular when the instrument is placed
on a carpeted floor, you must lower the adjuster so
that it presses strongly against the floor.
