Sustain Pedal (right side)

The Sustain- or Damper Pedal on an acoustic grand piano lifts 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.
