Pedalling

[Alan Forsyth]

>>>"But dampers damp.  Isn't the damper "engaged" or "on" when the pedal is
up and the dampers are resting on the strings, doing their job to damp
string movement????"

>>>"Pedal down, pedal on......hmmmm If we want precise terminology pedal
could be on, but dampers fail, half peddling is a valid technique, does that
become "half on" How about simply "pedal engaged."  "dampers engaged"

Council hath spoken;

Pedalling belongs to bicycles and peddling belongs to other mischievous
activities. When it comes to pianos it is SUSTAIN that shall be deemed to be
on or off.
