Best Answer

A piano peal stool, or pedal extender, is a platform that essentially raises up the pedals so that those who can't reach them can now do so. It is basically a platform with usually 2 pedals on it that gets placed over the real piaono pedals. When the piano player steps on the pedals that are on the platform, the real piano pedals are engaged by the platform pedals.

What does the sustain pedal of a piano do?

Also called damper pedal, a sustain pedal of a piano is used to maintain the sounds of the notes played. It occurs until the sustain pedal is released.


What are three names of the piano pedals?

The far left pedal on some pianos when pressed, will sustain the lower half of the piano. This ideal for holding down a chord for a long time or when both hands are needed higher up on the piano. It's rarely used. However on some pianos, it's used to lightly soften the sound of the piano. The middle pedal is the practice pedal. It dramatically softens the sound of the piano. The far right pedal is the sustain pedal. It lifts the dampers on the piano so that every note that is hit, keeps ringing until the pedal is released, dropping the dampers and stopping the sound. A side note to this is that the functions of each pedal varies from piano to piano, although, the far right sustain pedal is the same on ever piano.

What is the loud pedal on a piano?

Oh, my goodness! Many people call it the loud pedal. The right pedal is the damper pedal, and it gets the unfortunate nickname 'loud pedal' because with it you can open all the piano strings at the same time. The damper pedal's function is not to make anything louder than anything else; in fact volume is a function of how you use your body arms and wrists. The damper pedal can help the pianist create smoothe and beautiful legato and legatissimo lines, and there are things that can be done with it that would be somewhat difficult to describe briefly.


Which instrument has keys?

A piano has strings, pedals and keys. The keys are the black and white rectangles at the front of the piano. The pedals are found where the player's feet rest when sat on a stool. They are at the bottom of the piano, and usually in the middle of the piano. There are usually three pedals. The strings are hidden by the top of the piano, but as each key is hit, it connects with the string to make the note. It could also possibly be the harp. The traditional harp (lever harp) has about 30-35 strings. When needing to add flats or sharps to the key signature you flip a little lever that goes with that note. But it can only have three flats and two sharps so they came out with the pedal harp. Which has about 45-50 strings and has a pedal for each note(A, B, C, D, E, F, G). If you push the pedal, it will either make it sharp, flat, or natural.
