A manual is a keyboard designed to be played with the hands on a pipe organ, harpsichord, clavichord, electronic organ, or synthesizer. The term "manual" is used with regard to any hand keyboard on these instruments to distinguish it from the pedalboard, which is a keyboard that the organist plays with his or her feet. It is proper to use "manual" rather than "keyboard," then, when referring to the hand keyboards on any instrument that has a pedalboard.

  • Manual (jämför senlatinets manualis "som avser handen", "hand-" och latinets manus "hand") är klaviatur på tangentinstrument, till exempel orgel, som spelas med händerna. Ordet används särskilt när de finns flera rader klaviatur ovanför varandra; varje sådan rad är en manual.
