You have no clue what the other two pedals do on the piano, amirite?

I know... I said OTHER two.

One of them mutes it... not sure about the other

So that should be a YYA.

The pedals, from right to left, sustain the note, mutes the note, and bring the mallets closer to the strings. I opened a piano and played with them to see what they did.

so if the mallet is closer... what's that mean? :O

The mallet gets closer to mute the note. The center one, which newer pianos often don't have, is also a sustain pedal, but only sustains the first chord you play while holding it.

The far right is used to sustain the note, the middle one is used when you release the sustain pedal and it holds those notes and let's you play other ones but not have them held. The far right quiets the instrument. Eight years of piano lesson knowledge right there.

I don't know what the first one does.. haha.

it depends on what kind of piano you're on, i've seen some with two or three pedals.

i play keyboard for a few years, and when i was little i thought the pedals held the note out but there were three for the left section, right section, and middle section.... i dont really know my logic...

It depends on the piano...But the most common uses is that the right pedal holds out the note, the middle pedal keeps all the dampers that are already lifted, up (which is what makes the notes hold out) and the left pedal makes notes softer. And some pianos have a different middle pedal, and that makes the lower notes be sustained, but not the higher ones.

Right one holds out every note, middle holds only those pressed at the time the pedal was pressed, and the left quiets the piano.
