GETTING STARTED
CONTROL BUTTONS AND PEDALS
Sustain Pedal (right side)
Diagram B
The Sustain- or Damper Pedal on an acoustic grand piano
lifts up all the dampers that sit on the strings. Thereby all
played notes continue to sustain after the keys are released.
Furthermore, all the other strings can freely resonate, so their
frequencies contribute to a richer sound.
All this is simulated by the pedal of your Gewa piano. It is also
possible to play with half pedal, which means the simulated
dampers are only lifted slightly, so that the sustaining notes
are decaying faster than with the pedal fully depressed.
Sostenuto Pedal (middle position)
The Sostenuto Pedal resembles the Sustain Pedal. The only
difference is that only those notes are sustaining whose keys
were being depressed at the moment of actuating the pedal.
All the other notes are dampened as usual.
Piano Pedal (left side)
When the Piano- or Una Corda Pedal is being operated, the
GEWA Piano simulates shifting the keyboard action slightly
to the right. The altered striking line of the imaginary piano
hammers results in a differently colored tone and a slightly
softer volume.
