  • Nice shirt.

  • thnx

  • thx, it really helped me :)

  • Could you record this in a slightly more damped room perhaps?

  • AH CRAP! I've just bluntly lied to all of you. I meant sostenuto pedal, not una-corda

  • Hello. Una-Corda means "one chord" (kind of obvious) and is the middle pedal on the piano, but usually only functional as it is named on grand pianos. The idea is that you can hold down a chord, press down the una-corda pedal, and it will hold out those specific notes allowing you to play everything else unsustained.

    The middle pedal on many uprights activates a mute, often found on Asian instruments (that cloth he pokes at 2:08). Sometimes, middle pedal on upright is bass sustain.

  • wow david youre soo cool

  • Sorry, David, you are incorrect by calling the left pedal the "Damper" pedal! It is the Soft pedal or Una corda pedal. The "damper" pedal is another name for the "sustain" pedal, because it is the dampers (not the hammers) that it operates.

  • a group of felt hammers??? @ 2:07 no no no these are called dampers ther are pushed off the strings by a spoon on the wippen assembley

  • the mute pedal is the pedal that puts a layer of felt in front of the hammers that reduces the strike of the hammers. i am a registered piano technition
