Soft Sostenulo Damper
[1] The Damper Pedal
When
the
Damper
pedal
is
depressed,
notes
that
have
been
played
will
continue
to
sound
even
after
you
release
those
keys
on
the
keyboard.
The
duration
of
sustained
sounds
can
be
controlled
by varying
the
amount
by which
the
pedal
is
depressed.
e Half-Pedal Technique
This instrument allows you to make use of half-pedaling, an advanced technique
used
by
many
skilled
pianists.
Hali-pedaling
involves
using
the
Damper
pedal
skill-
fully to gain precise, subtle control over the length of time that notes will continue to
sound.
e Sympathetic Resonance
Depressing
the
Damper
pedal
adds
a
broad,
rich
resonance
to
the
notes
you
play,
similar
to
the
sympathetic
resonance
effect
of
acoustic
pianos.
(Sympathetic
Reso-
nance
occurs
because
adjacent
strings
begin
to
resonate
in
response
to
notes
actually
played.)You can even control the intensity of this resonance effect.
