Keyboards
The BK-4B has three keyboards.
The upper two are called "manuals" and the lower one, played with the
feet, "pedals."
They have keys and octaves as follows:
Upper Manual
44 keys (3% octaves)
Lower Manual
44 keys (3 octaves)
Pedals
13 keys (1 octave)
The Electone is designed to permit playing the melody on the upper manual with the right hand, the chords
on
the
lower
manual
with
the
left hand, and
bass
notes on
the pedals with the
left or right foot.
All keys are arranged
in the traditional keyboard
method:
two black keys, three black keys.
Each white
key has a name (from A to G), and the blacks are sharps or flats.
"C" is always the white key just below
the left black
key in the two-black-key
group.
Any
complete
set of seven white keys and five black
keys is called an ''octave."'
