Bänke und Zubehör

Denken Sie daran, dass richtiges und bequemes Sitzen eine wichtige Voraussetzung für unbeschwertes 
Musizieren ist. Qualitativ gute Sitzmöbel sind deshalb gerade richtig.

Klaviermöbel und Zubehör hält Ihr Fachhändler bereit. Dort fi nden Sie eine Auswahl an Sitzgelegenheiten 
und auch anderes Zubehör wie zum Beispiel Leuchten für Flügel und Klaviere, Metronome, Notenständer, 
Untersetzer zur Schonung kostbarer Fußböden oder Tastenläufer zum Schutz der Klaviatur, außerdem 
Hüllen in allen Varianten für Ihr Instrument.

Pedale

Das rechte Pedal

 (Fortepedal) wirkt bei Flügeln und Klavieren auf die Gesamtheit aller Dämpfer. Bei getretenem 

Pedal ist die Dämpferwirkung aufgehoben. 

Das linke Pedal

 (Klavierpedal) bewirkt bei Flügeln eine Verschiebung 

des Spielwerkes und bei Klavieren eine Verringerung der Anschlagsdistanz der Hammerköpfe bis zu den Klangsaiten. 
Dies führt in beiden Fällen zu einer Klangfarbennuancierung und auch leiseren Tönen. 

Das mittlere Pedal 

aktiviert bei Flügeln

 die Tonhaltung, wodurch das Ausklingverhalten jener Klangsaiten nicht abgedämpft wird, 

deren zugehörige Tasten im Augenblick der Betätigung des Pedals bereits gedrückt sind. 

Bei Pianos mit drei 

Pedalen

 aktiviert das mittlere Pedal je nach Modell und Ausstattung entweder die 

TwinTone 

Stummschaltung 

oder die Leisespielfunktion. Bei aktivierter Leisespiefunktion schiebt sich ein Filzstreifen vor die Hammerköpfe 
und dämpft so deren Aufprall auf die Klangsaiten. Dieser Moderatorfi lz unterliegt intensivem Verschleiß. Bei 
häufi gem Musizieren mit der Leisespielfunktion sind die Nachjustierung des Filzstreifens und auch der Ersatz 
abgespielter Filzstreifen unumgänglich.

Benches and accessories 

Please keep in mind that an important prerequisite for good playing is correct and comfortable sitting. 
For this reason fi ne piano benches are always a good investment. 

Piano furniture and accessories are available from your dealer. These include a selection of piano benches 
and stools, accessories such as piano lamps, metronomes, caster cups and runners for protecting the key-
board and also protective piano covers.

Pedals

The right pedal

 (sustaining pedal) lifts all the dampers at once, permitting all the strings to vibrate freely (grands 

and uprights). 

The left pedal 

in grands is referred to as the una corda pedal and in uprights referred to as the soft 

pedal. The grand una corda pedal causes the keyboard to shift slightly to the right, so that most of the hammers 
strike only two strings rather than three. The upright soft pedal moves the hammer rest rail slightly closer to 
the strings, reducing the hammer travel and power of string attack. 

In grands the middle pedal

 activates the 

sostenuto mechanism and selectively sustains only the notes of keys that are fi rst depressed and held depressed 
at the moment the pedal is engaged. 

In uprights with three pedals

, depending on the model and execution, the

 middle pedal activates the 

TwinTone 

silencing function or the muffl  er rail. The muffl  ing eff ect in uprights is 

achieved by a strip of felt that is lowered between the hammers and strings to reduce volume and accompanying 
overtones. With frequent use, the muffl  er felt will show natural signs of wear and must be repositioned once or 
twice and in the longer run also replaced by a piano technician.

Banquettes et accessoires

N’oubliez pas en eff et qu’une position assise correcte, détendue et confortable est l’une des conditions 
importantes pour la pratique agréable de la musique. 

C’est chez votre revendeur que vous trouverez un choix de banquettes, tabourets et autres accessoires – 
lampes de pianos et pianos à queue, métronomes, des pupitres, des sous-pieds (patins) pour préserver les 
sols fragiles ou des couvre-claviers en tissu pour protéger les touches ainsi que des housses de toutes 
sortes pour votre instrument.

Pédales

La pédale de droite 

sur les pianos à queue et les pianos droits (pédale forte), une fois enfoncée, lève simultanément 

la totalité des étouff oirs, qu’elle éloigne des cordes. 

La pédale de gauche

 (pédale douce) déplace latéralement 

l’ensemble mécanique vers la droite sur les pianos à queue et raccourcit la distance de percussion des têtes de 
marteaux aux cordes sur les pianos droits. Ce phénomène conduit un nuancement des timbres qui s’accompagne 
en outre d’une diminution du son. 

La pédale centrale

 (pianos à queue) est un système spécial. Ce principe 

maintient en position relevée les étouff oirs correspondant aux touches déjà enfoncées au moment de la mise 
en action de la pédale de sostenuto. 

La pédale centrale 

sur les pianos droits, dependant du modèle, déclenche 

le mécanisme silencieux 

TwinTone 

ou la fonction de sourdine. Dans le cas de sourdine, une bande de feutre 

s’intercale entre les cordes et les têtes de marteaux, atténuant leur impact. Il en résulte une diminution sensible 
du volume sonore ainsi qu’une modifi cation de sa richesse en harmoniques. Ce feutre de sourdine est soumis 
à une usure intensive. En cas d’utilisation fréquente, il est indispensable de faire réajuster ou, si besoin est, 
de remplacer les bandes de feutre.
