Opening and Closing the Lid

fig.3-03

When opening the HP 237R’s lid, grasp the

lid with both hands and gently lift it

upwards, then slide it towards the back of

the piano.

2. When closing the lid, slowly pull the lid

forward, then gently lower it into place.

Do not insert your hands into the inside of the

piano through the space between the lid and

the keyboard.

NOTE

Take care not to allow fingers to be caught or pinched when

opening and closing the lid. Make sure an adult is on hand to

provide assistance when young children are playing the HP 237R.

NOTE

For safety, transport the keyboard only with the lid in the closed

position.

About the Pedals

fig.3-04.e

Soft Pedal

This pedal softens the sound.

Playing with the soft pedal depressed produces a sound that

is not as strong as when otherwise played with the

equivalent strength.

Sostenuto Pedal

With the sostenuto pedal, only the sound played at the

moment the pedal is pressed is sustained.

Damper Pedal

Use this pedal when you want the sound to linger.

While the damper pedal is depressed, the sound from the

keyboard continues to linger/remain for an extended period,

even when you remove your fingers from the keys.

On acoustic pianos, when the damper pedal is depressed,

additional strings are released to resonate with the sound of

the keys that have been played, adding richness and breadth

to the sound. The damper pedal on the HP 237R recreates

this resonance when depressed. This resonance is called

“Sympathetic Resonance.”

You can change the amount of resonance applied with the

damper pedal. For more information and instructions, please

refer to “Changing the Damper Pedal’s Resonance” (p. 28).

About the Adjuster

After you have moved this piano, or when you feel it is

unstabled, lower the adjuster at the bottom of the pedal

board as follows:

❍ Lower the adjuster so that it is firmly in contact with

the floor. If there is a gap between the adjuster and the

floor, the unit may malfunction when the pedal is

pressed. In particular when the instrument is placed

on a carpeted floor, you must lower the adjuster so

that it presses strongly against the floor.
