Fig D

• 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. The only difference is that only those notes are sustained 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
