      @wolfsurvival2009 5 років тому +6

      @@yasmineabouali6537 On an upright piano, it either pulls down a bar with felt or brings the hammers closer to the keys. Either way, it's kind of like the soft pedal only a lot softer.
      On a grand piano, it takes the dampers off the string of each key you are currently depressing as you push the pedal down. So it's like the right pedal (sustain pedal) but only for your selection of notes.
      It can be fun to see the piano from the inside and study what happens when you press a key or pedal.

      pianofiend I need to learn how to play the piano or violin or something. I grew up as a bit of a gamer so I kind of have a bit of a preference for game music, old and new, original and remixed. I just think it would be nice just to learn how to play something pleasant for people once in a while. Here are a couple of examples.

    • @bobsmith-ov3kn
      @bobsmith-ov3kn 8 років тому +28

      +Brendan Beckett the middle pedal is usually a separate bass note sustain. Any notes held down (up to middle C) when you push the pedal down will stay sustained until you let go, but any notes played while the pedal is already down don't get sustained.
      It's really not that complicated, I don't know why it's like this joke

    • @gfabisevich
      @gfabisevich 8 років тому +59

      +martinaee It sustains a note, but only one note/chord at a time. So, unlike the sustain pedal, which sustains all the notes present and future, the middle one will sustain just that one note/chord, while you play later notes without sustaining them

    • @MrMelonMuffins
      @MrMelonMuffins 8 років тому +40

      +Glen F That's true only for grand pianos. Upright pianos are always, from left to right:
      hammers closer to the string for softer sound, strings muted for practice, strings released for sustain sound.
      Grand pianos are more complicated and include the one pedal you said.

    Finally, you figured out that this type of skit would be perfect for Jon. The right type of corny, but still really funny. Memories of Paul Shaffer in the early 1990's in the Late Show's Heyday. Now, please do more of this.

    This is even more funnier when you know how to play piano 😂

    Me and my friend know what the middle pedal is for, so you hit it right after pressing a key to only hold that note, it's a one note hold.
