Pedal System
www.adams-music.com
The Universal block pedal system securely locks pedal adjustments into place. The pedal system has two key factors: the clutch that locks adjustments in place,
and the mechanical resistance provided by the head tension.
The clutch does not have to be released to raise the tone. Simply apply
pressure to the pedal to raise the tone.
Press the toe of the pedal to release the clutch and lower the tone. The pedal
will automatically move from higher tones to lower tones.
Tension rods and the fine tuner determine the head tension. The head tension interacts with the pedal system, providing the mechanical resistance that moves
the pedal from the higher tone to the lower tone.
When the fundamental is correct, the pedal achieves the correct scalar range.
The tension from the head is strong enough to move the pedal from the
highest tone to the lowest tone.
When the fundamental is tuned too low, the pedal will not return to the lower
range. In this case, the tension from the head is not strong enough to fully
move the pedal from the highest tone back to the lowest tone.
