sustaining pedal
A sustaining pedal is a mechanism in pianos and other keyboard instruments that allows the sound or vibrations from the strings to continue even after the keys are released. It is often located on the right side among the foot pedals and is also known as the damper pedal or loud pedal. By depressing the sustaining pedal, the musician can create a richer, fuller sound and smoothly connect notes that are not adjacent to each other.
