There are two types of pedal piano:
* A pedal board integrated with a manual piano instrument, using the same strings and mechanism as the manual keyboard
* An independent, pedal played piano with its own mechanics and strings, placed below a regular piano
[[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]] owned a [[fortepiano]] with independent pedals, built for him in [[1785 in music|1785]].  [[Robert Schumann]] had an upright pedal piano with 29 notes. In the 21st century, pedal pianos, the [[Doppio Borgato]] are made in the [[Luigi Borgato|Borgato]] workshop in [[Italy]]. The bass pedalboard has 37 notes, A0 to A3 (rather than the standard 30 or 32 on an organ).
