Using the Pedals<br />
As with a grand piano, the <strong>CA13</strong> digital piano features<br />
three pedals: sustain, sostenuto, and soft.<br />
Soft pedal<br />
Sostenuto pedal<br />
Sustain pedal<br />
• Sustain pedal (right pedal)<br />
• Sostenuto pedal (centre pedal)<br />
Depressing this pedal sustains the sound after one’s hands<br />
have been lifted from the keyboard - greatly enriching the<br />
piano sound, while also assisting smooth ‘legato’ passages.<br />
The sustain pedal is capable of responding to half pedaling.<br />
• Soft pedal (left pedal)<br />
Depressing this pedal softens the sound, reducing its volume.<br />
When the rotary speaker effect is selected, the soft pedal is also<br />
used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation between<br />
'Slow' and 'Fast' effect modes.<br />
Depressing this pedal after playing the keyboard and before<br />
releasing the keys, sustains the sound of only those notes that<br />
have been played. Any keys that are subsequently played after<br />
the sostenuto pedal is depressed will not be sustained.<br />
Playing the Piano<br />
• Pedal support bolt<br />
If the pedal support bolt does not make contact with the floor,<br />
the pedal board may become damaged. Ensure that this bolt<br />
is fully extended and supports the pedals firmly.<br />
When moving the instrument, always adjust or<br />
remove the pedal support bolt, then readjust<br />
when the instrument is in its new position.<br />
• Caring for the pedals<br />
If the surface of the pedals becomes dirty, clean the pedals using a dry dish-washing sponge.<br />
Do not attempt to clean the pedals using rust-removing solvents, abrasives or files.<br />
