Benchworld P2: Benchworld P2 PE Wooden Piano Pedal Extender - Pedals - Accessories - Pianos & Keyboards | Cosmo Music Cosmomusic In this article, we’ll go through the three piano pedals on both upright and grand pianos, and discuss what each one does and when you might use it. Although most piano players instinctively knowow what the right pedal does, the middle and left foot pedals are often misunderstood by a large percentage of beginner students and hobbyist players.

Behning & Sons – Pedal PLUS Do, Piano Foot Pedal Extender for Kids & Short Adults | Easy Height Adjustable 1.5” to 5.2” in 0.2” increments | Sturdy & Durable Throughout his lifetime, Ludwig van Beethoven owned several different pianos by different makers, all with different pedal configurations. His pianos are fine examples of some experimental and innovative pedal designs of the time. In 1803, the French piano company Erard gave him a grand, "[thought to be] the most advanced French grand piano of the time... It had... four pedals, including an una-corda, a damper lift, a lute stop, and a moderator for softening the tone." [33] Bie, O. (1899). A History of the Pianoforte and Pianoforte Players, London: J. M. Dent & Sons, Ltd, 136. The only piano Mozart ever owned was one by Anton Walter, c. 1782–1785. It had two knee levers; the one on the left raised all the dampers, while the one on the right raised only the treble dampers. A moderator stop to produce a softer sound (see Other pedals, above) was centrally above the keyboard. [27] The moderator stop was popular on Viennese pianos, and a similar mechanism is still sometimes fitted on upright pianos today in the form of the practice rail (see Sostenuto pedal, above). Joseph Banowetz states that for the bassoon pedal, paper or silk was placed over the bass strings to create "...a buzzing noise that listeners of the day felt resembled the sound of the bassoon." [14] The buff stop and cembalo stops seem similar to each other in method of manipulation and sound produced. The buff ("leather") stop [13] used "...a narrow strip of soft leather ... pressed against the strings to give a dry, soft tone of little sustaining power." [4] The cembalo stop pressed leather weights on the strings and modified the sound to make it resemble that of the harpsichord. [15] Johannes Pohlmann used a swell pedal on his pianos to raise and lower the lid of the piano to control the overall volume. [16] Instead of raising and lowering the lid, the swell was sometimes operated by opening and closing slots in the sides of the piano case. [15]

After their invention, pedals did not immediately become the accepted form for piano stops. German and Viennese builders continued to use the knee levers for quite some time after the English were using pedals. Pedals and knee levers were even used together on the same instrument on a Nannette Streicher grand built in Vienna in 1814. This piano had two knee levers that were Janissary stops for bell and drum, and four pedals for una corda, bassoon, dampers, and moderator.
