In ‘FOUR HANDS’ mode the CN41 piano keyboard is split into upper and lower sections, allowing two players to play
the piano together. The sounds in the upper section are transposed two octaves down from the original pitch, while

same key range. The left pedal can also be used as a damper pedal for the player sitting on the left.
