3. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS DP345
This section tells you how to correctly set up your digital piano. For
assembly you will need:
A size 2 phillips screwdriver
Another person
Do not tighten the Philips screws until all parts of your digital piano have
been pre-assembled and aligned.
How to assemble your digital piano:
1. Unfold the pedal cable (not shown) and screw the adjustment screw
(10) into the pedal board (3).
2. Connect the side panels (4 and 5) with the pedal board using the Philips
screw (7b).
3. Attach the rear panel (2) with the 4 Phillips wood screws (8a) to the
pedal board. Then connect it to the side panels by using the Philips
screws (8b).
4. Then you can place the keyboard on the top. Ensure that it is fitted to
the metal angle of the side panels. 4 Phillips screws (7a) must be
screwed into the keyboard from below.
5. Then align your digital piano and tighten all of the screws.
6. Place you piano at the desired location and make sure that the
adjustment screw (10) touches the floor as shown below.

7. Insert the pedal cable true to side into the pedal cable socket on the
underside of the keyboard (1). It should slide easily into the socket.
Then plug the power cable (6) into the power socket on the back of the
piano (not shown).
8. Set up the music des as shown below.
OPENING THE KEYBOARD LID
Please always use both hands to open the keyboard lid.
Open the keyboard cover as shown in the diagram. Proceed in reverse
order to close it.

USE WITH A KEYBOARD STAND
It is also possible to use a keyboard stand instead of the supplied rack. In
this case place the keyboard stand on level ground and position the piano
centrally on top. If possible, the speakers on the bottom of the piano should
not be covered or partly touched by the stand. For the connection with a
standard sustain pedal you can use the 6.3mm jack socked labeled ‘sustain’
on the rear panel.
4. FIRST STEPS
In this section, we familiarize you with the controls on your digital piano.
4.1 THE CONTROL ELEMENTS OF YOUR DIGITAL PIANO
Your GEWA digital piano has the following controls:

4.2 CONTROL BUTTONS AND PEDALS

6 Record
Opens the recorder menu.
7 Player

Diagram B
Sustain Pedal (right side)
The Sustain- or Damper Pedal on an
acoustic grand piano lifts up all the
dampers that sit on the strings. Thereby all
played notes continue to sustain after the
keys are released.
Furthermore, all the other strings can
freely resonate, so their frequencies
contribute to a richer sound.
All this is simulated by the pedal of your
GEWA piano. It is also possible to play with
half pedal, which means the simulated
dampers are only lifted slightly, so that the
sustaining notes are decaying faster than
with the pedal fully depressed.
Sostenuto Pedal (middle position)
The Sostenuto Pedal resembles the Sustain
Pedal. The only difference is that only those
notes are sustaining whose keys were being
depressed at the moment of actuating the
pedal. All the other notes are dampened as
usual.
Piano Pedal (left side)
When the Piano- or Una Corda pedal is being
operated, the GEWA Piano simulates shifting
the keyboard action slightly to the right. The
altered striking line of the imaginary piano
hammers results in a differently colored tone
and a slightly softer volume.
