An electronic musical instrument has pedals, such as a damper pedal and a sostenuto pedal, and controls a read out musical tone in consonance with the position of a depressed pedal, thereby to provide the same effects as those provided by half pedal playing with an acoustic piano. The electronic musical instrument includes: a detector for detecting the position of a pedal; a memory for storing tone data that is selectable in consonance with the pedal position; a reading circuit for selecting and reading the tone data from the memory in consonance with the pedal position detected by the detector; and a tone generator for generating a musical tone by employing the tone data that are read by the reading circuit.
