∙ 14y agoA piano produces sound by using hammers to hit a string. When a key is pressed, the damper that keeps the string silent is lifted, and the hammer that belongs to it hits the corresponding string, causing the vibrations we know as sound. The higher notes are produced using thin strings. The lower the tone, the thicker the string.
The damper pedal helps the pianist produce a quieter sound, and the sustain pedal helps the pianist hold a note by keeping the dampers off the strings.
