Detailed explanation-1: -The seven foot pedals are attached at the bottom of the harp. They are used to change the pitch of the strings. This makes it possible to the harp to create sound which is similar to the sound created by the black keys of the pianoforte.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mechanism which controls these positions is located at the top of the strings, the same as on a lever harp, but is then connected through the hollow column of the harp to seven pedals around the base of the harp. The harpist moves these pedals with their feet to change the positions of the strings.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lever harps are tuned in Eb major Pedal harps are tuned in Cb major.
Detailed explanation-4: -Complete pedal settings should always be placed above or below the two staves. Individual pedal changes are indicated by giving the pitch letter and its new accidental. For example if the C pedal changes from the natural position to the sharp position the correct pedal marking is C♯.
